China is building giant bridge ships to invade Taiwan. This is reported by the industry magazine Naval News.
The publication publishes photos of these bridge ships, which were taken on a beach in the northeast of the country.
“China is currently building at least five new specialized new ships that appear to be designed for amphibious operations. These ships could provide the People’s Republic of China with a unique opportunity to unload large numbers of armored vehicles directly onto Taiwanese roads,” said the publication, quoted by the publication ‘Country’.
It is noted that the magazine’s conclusions are based on the analysis of satellite images, which show urgent construction work at several shipyards on the east coast of China, directly opposite Taiwan.
China’s state media published simulations of the deployment of floating bridges after the floating colossus was discovered.
“The construction of such special ship bridges is one of the indicators that defense analysts are watching for early warning of a possible invasion. It is possible that these ships can be explained by their civilian purpose. But the fact that so many ships are being built that are much larger than comparable civilian vessels makes that implausible,” the magazine wrote.
According to the authors of the publication, the ships are suitable for delivering large amounts of heavy equipment to the shore in a short time.
