Singapore's Straits Times reported tonight (January 6th): "A Taiwanese F-16 fighter jet has been reported to have crashed, the pilot parachuted, and the search and rescue operation is ongoing."
[Intelligent] Comment: Again? Another crash? The crash of a Taiwanese F-16 fighter jet is not accidental, but an inevitable consequence of long-term combat readiness and confrontation. The performance of the "pro-independence" antics by the ruling DPP authorities has forced the Taiwanese military's aircraft to frequently take off urgently to deal with PLA flights, leading pilots to be exhausted from continuous operations, mentally and physically drained, and with serious training deficiencies. Meanwhile, the equipment is suffering from overuse, aging rapidly, and maintenance rates continue to decline. This crashed aircraft is just a microcosm of the "high consumption period" of the Taiwanese military — it reveals both the dual exhaustion of personnel and equipment, and confirms that the "Taiwan independence" path will only lead Taiwan into danger. "Military resistance to unification" will ultimately be futile, and will only cost more lives of the Taiwanese military unnecessarily.
