Korean experts affirm Taiwan's development of drones, hellscape helps strengthen Taiwan Strait deterrence ZH韓專家肯定台灣發展無人機 地獄景象助強化台海嚇阻
.JUMP 20無人機具備高空偵監能力,最高飛行高度可達1萬7,000公尺。 圖:海委會/提供 Newtalk新聞 面對中國運用海上脅迫等灰色地帶手段對台施壓,韓國國家戰略研究院院長柳濟昇表示,台灣國防部加速發展無人機能力,符合美軍太平洋司令帕帕羅所提「地獄景象」構想,透過大量部署無人系統來拖延敵方行動、爭取兵力部署時間,強化台海嚇阻能力。 海洋委員會(海委會)14日舉辦「2026海線安全國際會議」,韓國國家戰略研究院院長柳濟昇(Yoo Jeh-Seung)出席「灰色地帶襲擾下之海線安全」專題論壇時指出,中國灰色地帶行動結合海上脅迫、網路攻擊、假訊息及無人機襲擾等多種手段,意圖藉由維持在武裝衝突門檻以下的方式來對台施加壓力。 柳濟昇表示,台灣海峽是東北亞重要的能源及貿易運輸通道,倘若海線安全受到威脅,韓國的經濟活動與國家安全將受影響;「嚇阻必須在戰火爆發前發揮作用」,區域國家應透過無人化系統、資安防禦、情資共享及外交合作,強化拒止嚇阻能力與整體韌性,降低中國片面改變現狀的可能性。 針對台海危機議題,柳濟昇在會後接受中央社專訪時強調,台海一旦發生危機,最重要的是台灣是否能展現自我防衛,若台灣能展現出竭盡全力的防衛意志與能力,不僅韓國、包括美國在內等多國,一定會向台灣提供援助。 對於韓方能提供的援助,柳濟昇認為,一是外交層面,韓國可對外表明「絕不能侵略台灣」、「在未獲相關各方同意前,絕不容許任何改變現狀的舉動」等外交聲援。 其次是人道救援。柳濟昇表示,若台海發生危機,韓國可提供物資等經濟上的援助;第三是軍事方面,韓方可透過韓美同盟方式,與美國一同協助台海可能發生的問題,至於具體會採取何種支援,應當在評估情況後逐步決定,所有決定都應由韓美間合作與討論。 至於軍事方面援助的構思,柳濟昇指出,阿拉伯聯合大公國(UAE)引進韓製「天弓二型」中程防空飛彈系統,讓韓國得以扮演協助阿聯強化防衛能力的角色;在俄烏戰爭,韓國也在非殺傷性武器與裝備範圍內,對烏克蘭提供支援。他認為,若台海有危機時,應會以相同原則處理。 關於降低戰爭風險方面,他建議,台灣應持續積極推動1.5軌對話平台,例如海線安全國際會議,邀請理念相近國家的專家及退役軍官來共同分享對區域的看法,並一同研商未來可能對策。 柳濟昇也建議,台灣應取得更多攻擊型、防禦型無人機。目前已看到台灣國防部展現出極佳示範,正快速擴大無人機的發展能力,而這也是落實美軍太平洋司令帕帕羅(Samuel Paparo)所提「地獄景象」(Hellscape)構想,亦即透過投放大量無人系統,藉以拖延對方行動、爭取兵力部署時間,並透過看清戰場情勢、做出決策、採取行動等步驟,再結合人工智慧(AI)技術管理戰場,就能對敵方構成強大威懾。 至於國家層級的指揮與管制(Command and Control)重要性,他表示,台灣需要一套能協調全軍整體運作的作戰層級指管系統,畢竟指管系統若無法凌駕於對手之上,再優秀的各式先進武器,都可能淪為無用武之地。 此外,韓國於2016年部署終端高空防衛系統(THAAD,薩德系統),當時引發中國反彈並大舉抵制韓國商品及娛樂。針對記者提問韓國部署薩德有哪些經驗可供台灣借鑑,曾於2013年至2017年擔任韓國國防部國防政策室長的柳濟昇回應,每個國家都希望建立多層次、整合式防空系統,台灣也不例外。 他指出,若要建構多層次防空網,薩德有其必要。薩德屬遠程高空攔截武器系統,在其涵蓋的高度之下,可搭配像愛國者飛彈或短程的防空武器;亦即,多層次防空架構越完備,一個國家的安全就越能獲得保障,不過,薩德系統在嚇阻對手威脅上能發揮多大的效用,則是必須審慎權衡和評估的問題。 關於韓國如何平衡與美國同盟,以及中國之間的三邊關係,柳濟昇表示,在軍事領域,韓國朝著主導朝鮮半島防衛的方向持續努力,美國則擔任維持並強化區域安全的主導角色;以北韓為例,美國主導遏制北韓核威脅行動,南韓則透過自身軍事實力主導威懾北韓傳統軍事威脅。 他認為,中國作為鄰國,也是韓國必須維持友好合作關係的對象,但中國若能更尊重周邊鄰國,並採取更具開放性、透明度的對外方針,將有助韓中關係在友好合作基礎上開闢新局面。延伸閱讀:尹錫悅「平壤無人機案」 獨立檢察組二審具體求刑30年護航「捏頭」中生扯言論自由 矢板明夫:只要和中國有關林沛祥就格外寬容恐慌飆升!美股費半重挫3.83%連8跌單週狂瀉11% 台積電ADR續跌2.28%台美合作破獲遊艇走私毒品案 查扣市價逾20億愷他命 日本擬放寬百餘種國家證照規定!國籍欄將可填「台灣」
