western satellites flew over fujian and captured two 10,000-ton pla warships entering the taiwan strait. the pla is likely practicing a new landing tactic, and the countdown to cross-strait reunification has begun.

in the waters of dongshan island in fujian province, opposite the taiwan strait, four giant ships of the people's liberation army are ready to go. military experts have determined based on satellite images that the four warships are two 072a tank landing ships and two large roll-on/roll-off ships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.

the expert believes that this is a very rare military deployment, indicating that the pla is likely practicing a new tactic for island landing operations, and the two roll-on/roll-off ships will play an important role.

in fact, in essence, a roll-on/roll-off ship is a dual-use military and civilian vessel. its unique design allows vehicles to enter and exit directly through the stern or side doors, greatly improving the loading and unloading speed.

during military operations, this enables a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, self-propelled artillery and other heavy equipment to be quickly deployed to the front line or war zone via roll-on/roll-off wheels, providing the troops with immediate fire support and tactical mobility.

especially in amphibious landing operations, roll-on/roll-off wheels can serve as key combat platforms, simulating the functions of amphibious assault ships in aircraft carrier battle groups.

during the beach landing phase, the roll-on/roll-off wheels loaded with marines and their equipment can quickly release air-cushion landing craft or directly dock, opening up a beachhead for the troops and effectively implementing landing and occupation operations.

some people may be curious, since roll-on/roll-off ships already have such powerful carrying capacity, why does the people's liberation army continue to equip a large number of amphibious landing ships?

in fact, although roll-on/roll-off ships are as capable as warships in terms of transport capacity, their self-defense capability is basically zero and they are relatively vulnerable to enemy missile attacks. therefore, they rarely participate in military operations with regular troops.

even in the us military's simulations, it is believed that roll-on/roll-off ships will not be used during the landing combat phase of fierce fighting. only after a stable position is established will roll-on/roll-off ships carry a large amount of supplies and personnel and equipment to the battlefield, and at this time the battle situation is likely to be no longer suspenseful.

from this point of view, the roll-on/roll-off ship is undoubtedly a "logistics vessel". therefore, some people believe that its simultaneous appearance with the 072a landing ship this time is likely to be the people's liberation army experimenting with a new strategy to give the other side a "surprise".

the strategy is that there is no need for roll-on/roll-off ships to enter the front-line battlefield, but instead they act as a "transit station" between the two sides, delivering supplies to amphibious landing ships via sea transport.

this not only greatly improves the efficiency of material transportation, but also allows us to deploy troops more quickly during island operations. while strengthening the country's overall mobilization capabilities, it also saves military expenditures in peacetime and improves the comprehensive utilization rate of resources.

of course, considering the poor strength of the taiwan military and the wavering attitude of the united states, our tactics may have overestimated the opponent and there is no need to put them into use.

but as the saying goes, "a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit." having one more set of tactics means an extra layer of protection, allowing us to be more calm when dealing with conflicts.
