Abstract
For an invasion of Taiwan, the PLA will seek achieve three supremacies- electromagnetic supremacy, air supremacy, and naval supremacy - firstly destroying the information and communication systems and air defense firepower of the other side, and then achieving naval and air supremacy, to create a favorable situation for the PLA’s amphibious landing group. Amphibious assault ships will play a vital role in the battle for seizing Taiwan, responsible for carrying out the tasks of sea forces delivery and three-dimensional firepower assault. The PLA Navy’s amphibious assault ships make up for the lack of air force projection and fire support. Type 075 strengthened the ability of the PLA to conduct three-dimensional landing operations. Furthermore, Type 076 has made a breakthrough in the capability of the PLA Navy’s amphibious warships to conduct unmanned aerial warfare. The construction of amphibious assault ships will add to the “new combat power quality” of the PLA.
