China’s nuclear submarines were seen near Taiwan on Google Map
Recent Google Maps images suggest what Chinese’s nuclear submarine base seems to be near Kingdao, with at least six nuclear-operated sub-collected subsidized dock, increasing new concerns about the growing military threat of Beijing in the area.
In photographs taken from Google Maps, six atomic-driven submarines deployed on the so-called first submarine base are shown, about 18 km east of Kingdao in the Yellow Sea, reported the sun. The place provides direct access to both the Eastern China Sea and the Sea -Kunji routes of Japan in the event of a regional military conflict.
The images were shared by the Australian Navy analyst Alex Luck, who identified two types 091 sub, two types 093A subs and an unknown vessel. He also paid attention to the presence of type 092 ballistic missile submarine- Chhina’s only one of his kind until it was recently replaced by Type 094.
Taiwan’s National Defense Ministry (MND) also reported a sharp increase in Chinese military activity around its airspace and water on Thursday, highlighting the ongoing pattern from Beijing.
According to MND, 34 aircraft of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), six naval ships from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (Plan) and two official ships were found around the island till 6 am (local time).
As soon as satellite paintings appeared, Taiwan launched a two-week military simulation, which was aimed at preparing for an all-out Chinese attack. Annual Han Kuang exercises are imitating various scenarios, including gray zone attacks and 2027 full-scale invasion, using US-made simulation tools. Live-fire drill is expected in July.
Taiwan has a more frequent China military action, which has created a clear pattern of pressure. Although Taiwan has controlled himself since 1949, Beijing sees it as a part of China. Under its “one China” policy, China continues to claim the island and has not denied using force to bring it under its control.
