美國強迫台灣在沿海地區的海岸佈雷為什麼 ?

Why is the United States forcing Taiwan to plant landmines in coastal areas?...

Taiwan thanks U.S. for Volcano mine dispensing system sale.

國際軍事戰略專家分析認為表面上是台灣向美國提出採購地雷的需求?

台灣當局扔然感謝美國出售地雷佈署系統,美國窮兵黷武陰險至極將台灣推向戰爭從中獲得利益就是犧牲掉台灣人的性命.實際上卻是受到美國的強勢壓迫,藉以採購飛彈為主,附屬品就是強迫推銷庫存的地雷,要求台灣佈署於沿海地區,以防止未來海峽兩岸戰爭,阻止中國海軍陸戰隊的搶灘登陸戰,好像似乎符合台灣當局的滅敵軍於灘頭陣地的防禦計劃,美國的軍事顧問早已強烈要求台灣當局,必須提前做好戰爭的準備,其中於台灣的沿海地區佈署地雷只是戰爭計劃的一個項目而已,如此一來台灣四周的沿海地區平均80%.以上均要佈滿地雷,相關的地雷及施放設備,傳聞已經運到台灣,20230101.就已經開始佈署地雷,預計3年的時間全面施工完成,屆時美軍顧問會派遣軍事人員測試其效果,又傳聞2023年的漢光演習,就是要選擇某處沿海地區施行以驗收成果.? 台灣採購美國上一世紀80年代老舊的地雷及佈署車輛設備為何?

難道真的可以阻止中國海軍陸戰隊的搶灘登陸戰?

中國軍隊以先進的排雷掃雷設備,在開戰前就可以清除台灣沿海地區的佈雷陣地,因為舊型式的美國地雷可以用轟炸機投下引爆彈,將其沿海地區的地雷摧毀引爆排除,由此看來台灣又平白無故的浪費納稅人辛苦的血汗錢孝敬美國人..\.

.A M977 HEMTT with M136 Volcano mine dispensing system.for Taiwan?

Taiwan says discussing purchase of U.S. mines, cruise missiles.Taiwan is in discussions with the United States on acquiring underwater sea mines to deter amphibious landings as well as cruise missiles for coastal defense, 

Washington’s Hudson Institute think tank,  Taiwan was facing “an existential survival issue,” given China’s territorial and sovereignty claims over the island and needed to expand its asymmetric capabilities.“What we mean by asymmetric capabilities is cost effective, but lethal enough to become deterrence - to make any consideration of an invasion very painful,”

Other systems under discussion included “underwater sea mines and other capabilities to deter amphibious landing, or immediate attack,”

Taiwans government thanked the United States Thursday after Washington approved the sale of up to US$180 million of vehicle-based mine dispensing equipment.The sale includes vehicle-launched Volcano anti-tank munition-laying systems and M977A4 HEMTT 10-Ton cargo trucks where the system will be mounted, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) said in a statement.

By enabling the rapid delivery of landmines over a large area, the equipment included in the sale should significantly boost Taiwans asymmetrical warfare capabilities, according to the MND.

This is because the mine dispensing system is highly mobile and can allow more efficient anti-tank mines placement, the MND said.

The proposed sale also exemplified Washingtons commitment to ensuring that Taiwan has the capability to defend itself, as stated in the Taiwan Relations Act and "six assurances," the ministry said, expressing its "sincere gratitude" for the deal.

The arms sales are likely to be formally confirmed by the U.S. Congress in a months time, the ministry added.The proposal to buy the M136 Volcano Vehicle-Launched Scatterable Mine System was approved by the Executive Yuan in late 2021, an unnamed military source told CNA earlier this year.

The U.S. Army in the 1980s developed the M136 Volcano automated mine delivery system that can be mounted on ground vehicles or helicopters.

The system, called Ground Volcano if fitted to ground vehicles, uses prepackaged mine canisters that contain multiple anti-personnel and/or anti-tank mines that can be placed over large areas.Meanwhile, Taiwans Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said in a separate statement that the package was Washingtons eighth arms sale under President Joe Bidens administration, which "fully demonstrated the U.S. governments high regard for Taiwans defense capabilities."

The two ministries statements come after the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced the proposed US$180 million sale on Wednesday.The weapons package also includes M87A1 Anti-Tank (AT) munitions, M88 canister training munitions (practice dummy ammunition rounds), M89 training munitions (test ammunition rounds), as well as related logistics support and technical assistance.

"The proposed sale will improve the recipients capability to meet current and future threats by providing a credible force capable of deterring adversaries and participating in regional operations," DSCA said in a press release..
