Taiwan’s first“Self-made submarine”, the haikun, has been docked for nearly five months and was docked with the assistance of a tugboat on the afternoon of July 15, according to a report by Taiwan’s“United Daily News” on July 15, to prevent intrusion and enhance secrecy, the Taiwanese military uses a jammer gun to control aerial drones, and divers are on standby on the seabed to control them before conducting port tests. In this regard, some netizens questioned the island said: confidential? Who cares?
The haikun was removed from dry dock on the 15th and put into berth for testing.
According to the report, the haikun was flooded and aerated on the 14th. It was originally expected to be moved from Kaohsiung Port and Taiwan Shipyard to Pier 91 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on the 15th, and was finally docked at 4:12 pm, the ship docked at Pier 91 at 0530 hours and was assisted by a floating platform to avoid collision and damage on its way.
The“United News” said that the“Haikun” appeared again after February this year, adjusting its power system such as the battery and main engine while sitting on the pier of the dry dock in Taiwan, and complete the photoelectric periscope (photoelectric mast) and the battery assembly, 15 dock.
Guo XI, a consultant with the front desk army, said during a live broadcast on the 15th that after the haikun docked at Pier 91, it would install 18 torpedoes and then conduct a power test to confirm that there were no problems, then use its own power to float out of port for sea survey. China Time News Network and other Taiwan media said that the“Haikun” in September will be the implementation of sea survey floating and diving tests.
After the news came out, some netizens commented on the island, “Symbolic meaning only”“Don’t go down on the float up.”.
“Is it a submarine or a God?” One Netizen said sarcastically. “It costs more than a submarine of the same class. It should be well protected!”“Secret? Who cares?”
Others see it as the“Wind of supplementary budgets”.
“Self-made submarines” were the most closely watched “Defence policy” of Tsai Ing-wen’s time. In her first term, she appointed “Navy Commander” Huang Shuguang to set up the project team, and later Huang Sheng to “Chief of staff”, after leaving the army, he became an advisory member of the National Security Council, still presiding over“Self-made submarines” all the way, reporting directly to Cai. However, the“Self-made submarine” program has been controversial in the island. Taiwan’s United News Network has said that the DPP authorities do not recognize“Self-made submarine” any defects, and credit to the DPP. Last September, when the water, due to delays in foreign delivery, many of the key equipment has not been installed. Taiwan’s China Time Electronic News reported that the Navy’s budget for seven mass-produced“Self-made submarines” is estimated at more than T $280 billion, which is more than three times the cost of Japan.
“United Daily” editorialized earlier that Taiwan’s“Self-made submarine” plan lacks a heavyweight foreign-owned responsible system integration, doomed to take more wrong road, product cost-effective is also relatively low. In the current model, the size of the team and its ability to ensure integrity and integrity remain confidential. The“Haikun” late construction, the relevant people competing to put word to the outside world, the drawbacks have emerged.
