Why doesn't Taiwan get one (1) weapon that can threaten the three gorges dam and proclaim they will break it if China invades? It's that easy, problem solved.

      >no nuke can penetrate invincibru Chinese concrete and steel
      Brand new Chinese dams being built with massive stress fractures in the concrete that will cause rapid failure
      Any hardened penetrator will blow that dam like a stack of dominos. Just detonating a nuke in the water right behind the dam walls will cause a catastrophic failure and flooding and drown 150+ million million insects.

    Why not just arm Taiwan with nukes and build silos for them in the mountains? 6-8 MIRV thermonuclear weapons salted with Cobalt 60 to deny China access to very important cities like Beijing and Shanghai for decades in addition to killing everything inside.

      the reason all americas silos are further inland is that so they can have more reaction time

    >The Yun Feng (Chinese: 雲峰; lit. 'Cloud Peak') is a supersonic land-attack cruise missile of Taiwan.
    >1,200–2,000 kilometres (750–1,240 mi)
    That wee black circle = the dam.
    Why would Taiwan need dozens of "domestically produced" (wink) supersonic low altitude cruise missiles that can be dispersed on truckbeds and have a sufficient range to hit the dam with HE warheads? Truly a mystery.
    You are now also noticing Beijing up top.

    >if China invades
    how? the stretch of water in between means they have to use ships and landing craft, and those can be sunk in large numbers with all hands

        are there reasons to believe the Chinese would be more successful than the Russians at this?

          In 30 days the cavalry will be there firing back. Taiwan is like if Switzerland was an island.

          [...]
          gentle reminder that bombing "infrastructure" has never generated a strategically significant advantage or permanently disabled a factory in the history of modern war

          >people don't die when you drop bombs on them because...because they just DON'T, OKAY?

            Sadly I'd say it was driven by cultural decay, not ballistic missiles
            that decay is part of why ballistic missiles would potentially work in favor of Taiwan but not Beijing: Taiwan is a bunker island of (post-HK especially) highly motivated separatists, Beijing is a hostage state oligarchy, and Beijing being less than rational has made a bunch of easy touchpoints where you can kill or starve millions of Chinese civilians in one go
            that would be modestly demoralizing, I think

            That was cultural collapse driven by illegal immigration.

      You know how much water is behind that dam right?
      Like, elevation is one thing, but when the reservoir filling was finished, the slowed flow of all the water behind it and the storing of its potential energy actually slowed the rotation of the earth by a few microseconds.
      It's an incredible quantity of fluid.
      If it fails near it's peak, estimates are something like 10,000,000 deaths pretty rapidly.
      That, plus an instantaneous loss of electricity for most of the surrounding areas.

    >3 gorges dam this and that
    Anons, there are better ways. Like hitting the dams before the 3 gorges dam.
    I don't believe the combine breaking of 3 dams before it wouldn't frick it up.

      Yes yes, the point was get some credible deterrence (not that hard) and make it abundantly clear official policy is to press the button. This is how all MAD situations works.
