China Secretly Developing Amphibious Invasion Fleet Clearly For Taiwan Invasion...

[Fred Bloggs]

According to a new Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) article by Conor Kennedy, the PLA has been modifying civilian RO-RO ferries with new stern ramps, enabling them to launch and recover military combat vehicles directly onto beaches from offshore. This strategy might address the PLA’s longstanding shortfall in amphibious assault forces, allowing them to quickly close the gap in their organic sea lift capacity.

If this were a secret project you wouldn\'t know about it. There is a more benign explanation - the modified ferries would also be useful for rescueing people from beaches during natural distasters. Australia has a couple of naval vessels with that capability and they were used to pull people of beaches who had been driven there by bushfires close to the coast. Bangla Desh could have used a few from time to time

PRC sort of gave it away when they were observed using the new ramps in military exercises launching ( heavy ) military amphibious vehicles into water..

It\'s easy to muster a bunch of military personnel to test that sort of feature. Rounding up a bunch of civilians would take longer, and they aren\'t as good at doing what they are told.

Leave it to the Bozo to come up with the most IMPLAUSIBLE explanation. Bozo still believes that COVID came out of a wet market.
