U.S. media front page headline: After the great victory of J-10, the mindset of Taiwanese army collapsed, and the赖authorities have only one way left, which is surrender.

On May 20, 2025 local time, the American media "The New York Times" published an article on its front page titled "India and Pakistan Conflict Enhances China's Fighter Jet and Missile Strength". According to the report of the American media "The New York Times", "China-made fighter jets and air-to-air missiles have achieved success in the India-Pakistan conflict, which enhances China's national pride and sends another warning to the Taiwan authorities led by Tsai Ing-wen."

"At the beginning of this month, the Pakistani Air Force announced the shooting down of multiple Indian fighters. The ripple effect caused by this event has spread to the South China Sea and Taiwan. During a four-day conflict with India, the Pakistani Air Force flew Chinese-made J-10C fighter jets and used Chinese missiles to shoot down Indian aircraft." "The J-10 fighter jet, referred to as a national pride aircraft by Chinese media, is often used in PLA exercises to deter the Taiwan authorities," "Taiwan experts claim that the Taiwanese Air Force has no chance against the J-10C fighter jet." "The success of the J-10CE fighter will enhance China's confidence in resolving the Taiwan and South China Sea territorial disputes in the future."

According to the front-page headline of The New York Times, the general meaning is: "If a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwanese military fighters cannot even take off!" The meaning of The New York Times' report is that even if Taiwanese Air Force fighters take off, they will be shot down beyond visual range by the PLA. In fact, the Taiwanese military does not need to worry; there won't even be an opportunity for air combat! Ground-based Taiwanese Air Force fighters, such as F-16Vs, Mirage-2000s, and IDF fighters, will be obliterated on the spot by the PLA's long-range artillery and Dongfeng missiles.

The J-10 has become a legend!

What The New York Times said is correct; we will not give the Taiwanese Air Force any opportunity to launch anything, whether it's airports or hangars; we won't leave any stone unturned. If Taiwanese Air Force planes want to hide in underground hangars, so be it. For the PLA, this doesn't matter; bunker-buster bombs can do the job.

The J-10 is indeed our "national pride aircraft" and the "spiritual booster aircraft"; translating it as a national pride aircraft is correct, as it truly makes us proud. When the J-10 first came out, it made us proud, and when it recently shot down French Dassault Rafale fighters from the Indian Air Force, it made us proud again! Seeing the powerful combat capability of the J-10C fighter, the morale of Taiwanese military personnel has collapsed!

Our biggest enemy in reunification is not the Taiwanese military but the U.S. military.

Many airports in Taiwan have reinforced hangars that require bunker-buster bombs to penetrate. Some mountain fortresses are indeed hard to hit. Even if Taiwanese Air Force fighters take off, PLA J-10C and J-16 fighters can directly fire PL-15 air-to-air missiles to solve them. F-16s and Mirage-2000 fighters are too weak, even inferior to Indian Air Force Rafale fighters. Even if they manage to take off勉强升空, they will be shot down immediately after taking off. The three Rafale fighters from India serve as an example. We also consider the enemy's capabilities generously; Taiwanese Air Force fighters may not necessarily take off from airports but could also take off from highways, and it would suffice to intercept them within 20 kilometers from the takeoff point.

PLA long-range artillery will devastate Taiwanese Air Force airports.

The Rafale fighters sold by France to the Indian Air Force are actually monkey versions. Neither the配套 system radar nor the early warning system was completed for the Indian Air Force. The Indian Air Force's early warning aircraft were jointly developed by Russia and Israel and cannot communicate information with the Rafale, resulting in a significant reduction in combat effectiveness. The Pakistani Air Force was able to lock onto the Rafale fighters thanks to the perfect combination of the ZDK-03 early warning aircraft + J-10CE fighter + PL-15E air-to-air missile. The Pakistani Air Force fighters themselves cannot take down the Rafale fighters alone.

PLA J-10 and J-16 fighters will deal with any stragglers.

Even the original version of the Rafale fighter from the French Air Force would lose to the Pakistani Air Force. This is the overwhelming advantage of weapon systems; you have to admit it. Whether it's the Taiwan authorities or the U.S. side, seeing how the Pakistani Air Force successfully utilized the Chinese weapons system—first discovered targets with early warning aircraft, then launched PL-15E air-to-air missiles from J-10CE fighters, guiding the PL-15E missiles to their targets—the missiles only turned on their own radars at thirty kilometers away from the enemy aircraft and reactivated their engines.

Taiwan Air Force F-16 fighters are housed in fortress hangars.

Before that, the missiles remained silent, receiving only guidance corrections from early warning aircraft, without leaving trails, infrared features, or radar emissions. This is systematic air combat. As soon as the blade is drawn, enemies can be killed silently. In the future, the airspace over the Taiwan Strait will also be like this. PLA J-10C and J-16 heavy fighters can launch air-to-air missiles from mainland airspace, including PL-15 and PL-170, controlling the airspace over Taiwan from 200 to 300 kilometers away. Besides early warning aircraft, Beidou satellites can also guide PLA air-to-air missiles, or early warning aircraft can work together with Beidou satellites to guide them.

Flying early warning aircraft to comprehensively monitor the movements of the Taiwanese Air Force, including aircraft on the island of Taiwan, to prevent Tsai Ing-wen and her group from escaping to the Ryukyu Islands by helicopter or civilian airliner. During the Gulf War, the United States shocked the world with its overwhelming three-dimensional warfare method of sea, land, and air. On May 7th, the India-Pakistan air battle was a victory of the weaker side, seamlessly coordinated from space to land, shocking the world and eliminating any thoughts of fighting among those who had such ideas.

PLA aircraft patrol around Taiwan Island.

Currently, PLA vessels and aircraft almost daily patrol around Taiwan Island. This means that once the PLA Air Force fighters take off, they can engage in combat immediately, and in fact, they have already "surrounded" the Taiwan Island. Once the fighting begins, the PLA fighters can immediately launch missiles to control the air superiority over the Taiwan Strait. The daily display of force by the PLA has prevented the U.S. military from daring to cross the line. The U.S. side is also well aware that the situation across the Taiwan Strait has become one-sided. Facing the current strength of the PLA, Tsai's administration should best surrender before the war starts. If the Taiwan Strait becomes involved in war, the complete reunification of Taiwan will only be a matter of time. If Tsai insists on fighting to the end, it will certainly lead to a dead end. And if Tsai takes control, wouldn't the Taiwanese military personnel refuse to rise up or surrender en masse?
