Chieh-Chung noted that Taiwan’s long-range early warning radar in Leshan (樂山), Hsinchu, has a detection radius exceeding 3,000 kilometers, reaching Inner Mongolia. The launch site this time is within 1,500 kilometers of Leshan, allowing our radar to capture and immediately identify the missile launch location. However, determining whether the missile is a Julang-2 or Julang-3, or whether the submarine was surfaced or submerged, is beyond our capabilities and likely derived from intelligence exchanges.
He stated that although various countries have complained about China’s late notification, the movement of the “Yuanwang" telemetry ship to the South Pacific and China’s announcement of dangerous waters made it clear that the PLA was preparing for a test launch. The U.S. could use satellites and other tools to enhance surveillance of potential launch sites, possibly allowing them to ascertain whether the submarine was surfaced or submerged at the time.
Chieh-Chung also pointed out that if the Julang-3 were launched from the Bohai Sea and traveled northeast over the Arctic, it could reach the entire U.S.; launching from the South China Sea would not reach the U.S. East Coast. With a meeting between Xi and Trump scheduled for September, Beijing likely does not want to overly provoke President Trump, potentially straining the recently eased relations.

無人機對傳統戰爭邏輯的衝擊，對國軍日後台澎防衛作戰的第一個啟示，是大量中遠程無人機，不僅可大幅增加國軍對中國大陸東南沿海地帶實施源頭打擊的火力數量、打擊範圍與殺傷效率；更能在共軍掌握台海制空權的極端狀態下，保有對犯台共軍戰略後方，即中國大陸東南沿海各重要軍事目標，進行遠程戰略打擊的能量，特別是針對固定、難以機動之交通線、運輸樞紐設施設備，與重要後勤基地的持續性攻擊，讓犯台共軍的後勤補給作業遭受嚴重的干擾與拖延。
第二個啟示，是在日後的國土防衛戰中，基層戰鬥部隊若能運用3D列印技術，加上戰前儲存的大量零組件，就可在第一線附近製作簡易的小型無人機，搭配國軍引進的團隊感知套件(Team Awareness Kit, TAK)，可大幅擴充第一線基層單位的情蒐與精準打擊能量，可望使登陸共軍儘管具有優勢的傳統火力，卻仍舊難以發動一定規模以上的組織性攻擊，無法實現短期內占領全台灣的目標。(圖片擷取自風傳媒網頁)
揭仲解讀，國防部在漢光實兵操演前先展開「立即戰備操演」與「聯合防禦操演」，就是想先藉這兩項操演，強迫各級指參人員與部隊，增加對修訂後的防衛作戰計畫與交戰規定的了解，使8月漢光實兵演練能有更好的實戰訓練效果。
揭仲形容，「立即戰備操演」與「聯合防禦操演」，是讓考生能熟習相關理論架構與內容的「考前複習」，至於漢光實兵演練，則是要訓練考生如何依據理論來解主事者臨場下達的考題，同時檢驗考生解題的成效，甚至希望在解題過程中，發現目前理論的不足之處，進而做出修訂。
他指出，倘若考生在解題前，對理論的架構與內容掌握不足，自然會影響後續解題訓練的成效；這也是國防部為何要在漢光實兵演練前，先用一段時間，讓即將上場的考生、也就是國軍各單位，先熟悉、理解解題所需的理論，即修訂後的防衛作戰計畫與交戰規則，然後再上場解題，以提高訓練效果，更有效地達到驗證計畫之目的。(圖片擷取自聯合報數位版)

本集聚焦2026環太軍演、美日「勇敢之盾」與第一島鏈軍事布局。美國把戰略焦點拉回太平洋後，日本、菲律賓是否被推向抗中前線？中國東風系列與反介入能力，是否足以破解美國島鏈防禦？台灣又該如何看懂西太平洋軍事變局？
本集看點：
美日菲連環軍演，第一島鏈是否上緊？
環太軍演接勇敢之盾，美國太平洋戰略有何變化？
東風飛彈亮相還擊，美軍島鏈防線會不會破功？
日本、菲律賓角色升高，是嚇阻中國還是替美國扛風險？

海馬斯朝中國大陸的方向開火，究竟只是演習，還是戰略訊號？
2027到底是開戰倒數，還是中共能力驗收？
當台海危機逐漸逼近，我們必須看清楚真正的答案。我們邀請到「國防安全研究院委任副研究員 揭仲博士」帶大家深入解析！(圖片擷取自SMARTnews Youtube )

北京川習會落幕後，根據美國川普總統的發言，將高達140億美元的對台軍售案視為談判籌碼，並表示暫緩決定。此話一出，隨即引發台海高度焦慮。
雖然美國國會與國務卿盧比歐隨後滅火，強調對台政策未變，但這筆包含增程型愛國者三型飛彈、國家先進地對空防空飛彈系統等關鍵裝備的延宕，究竟會對國軍防禦帶來哪些實質衝擊？面對中共軍機、軍艦的演習與威脅，我們又該如何因應？
本集特別邀請到淡江大學整合戰略與科技研究中心研究員揭仲，他曾擔任國會辦公室主任長達17年，其中15年在國防委員會與外交國防委員會，也是國防部「114年四年期國防總檢討」諮詢委員，將分析川普總統為何公開表示對台軍售，可能作為美國與中國的談判條件，以及這筆140億美元的軍售案的內容，及對台灣防禦的關鍵影響。
此外，更從軍售延遲之際，台灣本身可以採取的因應作為，包括軍售之外爭取商售的可能性，以及無人機防禦的自主研發和部署等，提出見解。並深入剖析華府當前對台海軍事衝突風險的態度，建言台灣可以扮演的角色。歡迎收聽！
Chung Chieh(揭仲) provided an example, stating that the P&A data is equivalent to a quotation submitted by potential vendors, while the LOA draft is the contract draft during formal negotiations between the two parties. Both sides can negotiate the items, amounts, and payment milestones in the LOA draft before finalizing and signing it. Once the LOA is signed, the U.S. government will represent the purchasing country in subsequent processes such as vendor selection, negotiation, production, and delivery.
The advantage of this system is that the U.S. government will execute project management for the purchasing country; however, the downside is that it excludes certain clauses found in general commercial contracts, such as dispute resolution and arbitration mechanisms, primarily to facilitate the operations of U.S. administrative departments.
He noted that prior to Tsai Ing-wen’s administration, the U.S. insisted that Taiwan’s military procurement procedures must begin with a request for P&A. If the U.S. agreed to provide P&A, it would signify interdepartmental review and consent to sell. Taiwan would then plan its budget and apply for the LOR for LOA based on the P&A. However, since 2016, the U.S. has allowed Taiwan to skip the P&A stage and directly apply for the LOA draft when necessary.
He interpreted that the M1A2T budget exceeding nearly 5 billion NTD is due to the Army’s procurement process for the M1A2T, which aimed to expedite the project by skipping the LOR for P&A stage and relying on price data previously presented in a military exchange meeting. This approach overlooked significant price fluctuations over the years without obtaining a formal quotation, resulting in an underestimated budget. (圖片擷取自聯合報數位版)
