[Reporter Wu Shuwei/Taipei Report] Ukraine has resisted the Russian invasion for nearly a year, and even used the "Hippocampus" multiple rocket system to attack the Russian army with precision. According to the "Washington Post" report, every Hippocampus rocket fired by the Ukrainian army The precise coordinates are all provided by the US military.

Faced with the fact that the national army will also be equipped with "Hippocampus" in the future, retired admiral Chen Yongkang pointed out in an interview that the range, distance, and resolution of the maps used by the national army, navy, and air force are different, so it is necessary for the three armed forces to cooperate. Image, there is a way to target data.

In June last year, the United States provided Ukraine with the "Hippocampus" multiple launch rocket system. Although the United States only sold Ukrainian precision-guided rockets with a range of about 80 kilometers, it still helped the Ukrainian army repeatedly win victories.

my country is also expected to acquire 2929 sets of US-made "Hippocampus" multiple launch rocket systems next year and 2027. In addition to purchasing 864 precision rockets, it will also purchase 84 "Army Tactical Missiles" with a range of 300 kilometers to strengthen cross-regional Reinforcement and heavy defense strike force.

Chen Yongkang attended a lecture organized by the Chinese Negotiation Management Society. After the meeting, he was asked about the "Washington Post" report that the Seahorse multiple rockets launched by Ukraine were precisely positioned by the U.S. military. If Taiwan equips the Seahorse in the future Will multiple rockets also need coordinates provided by the US?

Chen Yongkang said that a common image should be used for this, because the range, distance, and resolution of the maps of the army, navy, and air force are different, so there must be a coherent picture (common image), no matter which one it is in the future The military uses the Seahorse multiple rockets. It is not easy at present whether the Targeting data (target data) is time-sensitive or delayed, and whether it can be displayed on the image.

Therefore, Chen Yongkang said, it’s not just a latitude and longitude to launch, “Then you are just the operator, not using this equipment”, this requires joint efforts.

Chen Yongkang, former naval commander and president of the National Defense University, attended the lecture on negotiation management, politics, economy, art and literature today, and gave a speech on the topic of "Facing the Great Changes in the Taiwan Strait ~ Looking Forward to Future Conflict Scenarios".
