China’s Invasion Barges Seen Operating in Shocking Photos
What could be a piece of China’s invasion plans for Taiwan has apparently fallen into place, as so-called “invasion barges” have now been seen in operation.
Video circulating on social media showed three barges, according to the War Zone.
“Each barge has a very long road span, which is extended out from the front. At over 120 meters (393 ft), this can be used to reach a coastal road or hard surface beyond a beach. At the aft end is an open platform, which allows other ships to dock and unload,” Naval News wrote.
“Some of the barges have ‘jack up’ pillars, which can be lowered to provide a stable platform even in poor weather. In operation the barge would act as a pier to allow the unloading of trucks and tanks from cargo ships,” the outlet wrote.
The site noted that after the Allies landed at Normandy on D-Day, what were called Mulberry Harbours were built to offload the massive amount of men and equipment needed for the liberation of Europe.
The site reported that unlike the temporary pier President Joe Biden ordered built off the coast of Gaza that broke apart, these barges can be jacked up to ride out a storm, although the downside of that is that they become static targets for an enemy.
The site also noted that the long reach of the extensions off the front of the barges means areas of Taiwan that might have been considered unsuitable for an invasion force could now be targeted.
