China on Tuesday unveiled a plan to deepen integration between the coastal province of Fujian and self-governing Taiwan, touting the benefits of closer cross-strait cooperation while sending warships around the island in a show of military might.
Nonetheless, in a scenario of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, Taiwanese defence planners have since the 1990s discussed using long-range missiles to hit the dam. Given the concurrent tense relations between India and China, with Indian generals warning of military escalation, this may also be a likely target should further conflict break out.
And you can launch more than one missile. You can also launch MIRVs. Or multiple MIRVs. The point being, with US backing, Taiwan has many fun toys to use against the Chinese to make their lives hell even without us showing up to the party – which we would, with very minimal fucking about, because Taiwan’s got dem microchips. And we want dem microchips.
Even Israel have problems stopping everything when the swarms if missiles are large though, and those missiles don’t even have notable evasive maneuvering
Talked to an ex-CIA agent. She couldn’t share any real secrets but did say that there are enough nukes on one submarine to destroy the entire world. The missiles also break apart into lots of other missiles. In other words, if they aren’t shot down soon after launching, we’re all fucked.
Maybe, but Taiwan can’t take it out on its own, they need an indigenous deterrent
I have no idea why you’d think that.

The USA & Israel can shoot some missiles down, sometimes. 0 evidence that China has that capability anywhere else besides paper.
Taiwan has hundreds of LRM launchers already targeting that dam, with the option to buy hundreds more from Uncle Sam.
China attacks Taiwan & hundreds of Chinese cities die in their entirety, immediately.
Simple as.

Not all.
