照外洩機密看,北約各國援助烏克蘭軍機的理由更充分了:

"Since those early days, Ukrainian air defenses have held off an onslaught of Russian missile and drone attacks. But those systems, according to American military officials and the leaked documents, are rapidly depleting, potentially offering a window for Russian planes to do severe damage.

Air defenses are layered, with different types of weapons designed to intercept aircraft and missiles flying at different altitudes — from low-flying helicopters to high-altitude bombers and cruise missiles. In Ukraine, these defensive weapons have also been used to target drones and cruise missiles as Ukrainian forces have tried to defend their cities from Russia’s campaign against the country’s infrastructure."

洩密裡的黑海各方空軍交手風雲:

"這份文件詳述10月至今年2月底期間,俄羅斯對美英法偵察機的數次反應,其中包括12月30日,另1架英國「鉚釘」偵察機在2架英國「颱風」(Typhoon)戰鬥機伴隨下,遭到俄羅斯飛機攔截,俄機甚至飛近至100英尺(約30.5公尺)以內。這份文件印有SECRET/NOFORN標記,代表其內容不會與非美國公民共享。

在另一起例子中,1架美國MQ-9無人偵察機於2月22日遭攔截,當時俄機飛進約100英尺範圍內。3月14日,2架俄羅斯蘇愷-27攔截1架美國MQ-9,向無人機傾倒燃料並最終與其相撞。美國官員表示,這次碰撞促使美軍以遙控方式讓無人機墜入離克里米亞海岸約90公里的黑海中。"

"海軍陸戰隊戒護海鋒飛彈部隊進入陣地、完成放列,並以雄風反艦飛彈待命追瞄,透過聯合情監偵隨時掌握海上敵情動態,全天候保持高度警覺,戮力守護家園。

同時間,海軍數艘FACG光六飛彈快艇緊急出港,演練戰術運動及接戰程序,強化突發狀況應處,"

雖然本島大部分都對這次軍演都抱持知道但不緊張狀態, 還是有必要認識一下中國正逐漸拉高侵略預備:

"國家政策研究基金會副研究員揭仲向中央社表示,中共今年初就宣稱山東艦已完備相關訓練,顯然這次是正式戰備前的遠航訓練,並結合環台島戰備警巡和聯合利劍演習。他指出,中共航艦艦載機數量推估約24至32架,此次4架殲15戰機所隱含的就是1個戰術編隊,對台具有實質威脅。

揭仲提到,如果山東艦正式戰備,代表中國將有兩個航空母艦戰鬥群可以派遣,未來將至少有1艘在西太平洋地區巡弋,意味台灣東部戰力保存(海軍疏泊區、空軍花蓮佳山基地等)受到嚴峻挑戰,由於航艦戰鬥群位於岸置反艦飛彈射程外,應對手段有限,僅能以戰機搭載飛彈或以潛艦應處,相當棘手。

前空軍副司令張延廷告訴中央社記者,此次軍演為「東航艦、西戰機」對台東西夾擊,且中共此次海巡與海軍雙管齊下,意圖將台灣海峽內海化,同時也對台灣東部戰力保存造成嚴峻威脅,為了確保屆時戰機能夠正常起降,軍方應儘速推動花蓮、台東等地區的戰備道建設。"

對台灣而言,想走戴高樂路線的法國馬看來跟熱衷九二共識的台灣馬一樣糟糕:

He said that the issue was not for him to judge, that he did not detect any Chinese inclination to “overreact,” and that, during a visit where Mr. Xi had shown such unusual hospitality, it was not the moment “to mix everything up.” ]

The law was named in honor of Robert Levinson, an American detained in Iran since 2007 and who is believed to have died there.”

極權神經末梢面對瞞上不瞞下風氣的潛在風險:

"美國海軍情報局(ONI)指揮官、海軍少將史都德曼(Michael Studeman)是在馬里蘭州國家港的美國海軍聯盟海空太空會議(Sea-Air-Space)上,做上述表示。曾訪台的史都德曼說,他身為軍事情報人員,「我們掌握強烈跡象顯示,習近平並不知道他的安全部隊所做的一切」,他認為原因出在中國治理模式的笨拙與獨裁統治的風險。"

"由於這些違法行為尚不足以構成戰爭行為,五角大樓將之稱為「灰色地帶」行動。史都德曼說,共軍這類行為的嚴重性與頻率,有可能不見得總能上達習近平與其他中共菁英階層;極權國家的運作方式有其危險,真相並非總能迅速傳播,壞消息在上傳途中有時會被摻假,「我們看到部分情況正在發生」。"
