![]() ![]() So Taiwan needs to have a military that is capable enough to stop a Chinese invasion, or at least make it to costly for China. Also the amount of troops you can land depends on the amphibious capability: This would leave China defenseless against retaliation from Taiwanese allies like the US, Japan and South Korea. UK was not occupied by Germany because it was an island.Ĭhina could not send ALL of its military to invade Taiwan. Being an island is a huge strategic advantage. When defending an island you don’t need to have a military as big as that of the attacker. Of course China will always have a bigger military. Include Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.īeing a NATO member would mean that if China attacks Taiwan it would be at war with all of the free world. I also think that NATO should be expanded to more areas of the world. Which makes the US the best choise for Taiwan as being a superpower China can’t bully it around like it could with any of the smaller nations. Taiwan needs quality to face Chinese quantity.Ĭhina could bully the smaller nations in not selling the tanks (or spare parts and ammunition etc.) to Taiwain. This is required as China has a lot more tanks. But other very good choises would be Leopard 2 A7+, Challenger 2, Merkava 4, Type 10 or K2 Black Panther.Īny of these choises would give Taiwan a tank that is a lot better than that of any Chinese invader. The M1A2 SEP V3 Abrams would be the best choice. The Abrams can survive hits from 125mm guns and many anti-tank missiles and the Abrams can penetrate the armor of any Chinese (or Russian) tank. The Abrams would give it a tank that outclasses Chinese tanks. Taiwan needs to replace its obsolete Patton tanks. It takes a lot of punishment to take one out. And the Abrams is amung the best (of not the best) main battle tanks in the world.īeing a military enthusiast I can tell you that the Abrams is the best protected main battle tank in the world. US equipment is the most advanced in the world. The harder it is for the opponent to win a war, the less likely he will attack. A weak military is inviting the enemy in. This is how NATO prevented a Soviet invasion of Europe. When your enemy knows you are prepared he is less likely to attack you. The best way to avoid a war is to PREPARE for one. You obviously know nothing of military equipment and conflicts. ![]()
