The Taiwan authorities announced the grounding of their main combat aircraft due to serious aging, and will no longer confront the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Surrender and admit defeat directly! The Taiwan authorities announced the abandonment of confrontation with the PLA and the suspension of all main combat aircraft flights.

The PLA has begun to carry out routine patrols around the Taiwan Island, and the patrol intensity in islands such as Kinmen has been greatly increased. Faced with the PLA's exercises and routine patrols, the measures taken by the Taiwan authorities are to send their own aircraft to confront the PLA aircraft. However, what causes great pain to the Taiwan authorities is that not only are the Taiwan authorities' aircraft very old but also the quantity is very small. After just a few rounds of confrontation, frequent malfunctions began to occur in the Taiwan aircraft, and the pilots also encountered psychological problems.

It was reported that within 7 days, there were 3 accidents involving IDF aircraft and Mirage-2000 aircraft in Taiwan, each being very dangerous. If we extend the time to one year, the crash rate of Taiwan authorities' aircraft has increased by more than 30%, and various failure rates have risen by more than 50%. Due to the fear of encountering more accidents, especially more accidents leading to aircraft destruction and casualties, the Taiwan authorities directly surrendered and admitted defeat. The Taiwan authorities announced the suspension of all main combat aircraft flights and will no longer use aircraft to confront the PLA aircraft.

The Taiwan authorities announced that they would use ground-based surveillance forces to confront the PLA aircraft. Obviously, the Taiwan authorities have realized that they have no ability to continue confronting the PLA. This admission of defeat and surrender by the Taiwan authorities is clearly based on helplessness due to strength. Although the Taiwan authorities are still acting as scapegoats, purchasing so-called AF16 fighters from the US at a unit price of only $300 million, this cannot change the reality that the Taiwan authorities fundamentally lack the ability to confront the PLA. This time, the suspension of all aircraft flights by the Taiwan authorities is still smart and is also a means to avoid major losses.
