Hava Hakimiyet Teorisi Kapsamında Çin ve Tayvan Hava Kuvvetlerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti-Tayvan ilişkileri küresel ölçekte önemli güvenlik konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Çalışma, Tayvan’ın taşıdığı önem ile Hava Hakimiyeti Teorisi kapsamında Tayvan'a yönelik olası bir askeri operasyonda Çin Hava Kuvvetleri'nin rolünün ve etkisinin ne olacağını incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Makale, Çin Hava Kuvvetleri'nin gelecekte olası diğer askeri eylemlerde ortaya koyabileceği yetenek ve yetkinlikleri anlamak açısından önemlidir. Potansiyel eksikliklerini tamamlamaya veya bunlara çözüm bulmaya çalışan Tayvan'ın tüm dünyadaki savunma sanayii üreticileri için önemli bir pazar potansiyeline sahip olduğu, insansız sistemlerin hava kuvvetleri için kritik bir rol oynayacağı anlaşılmıştır.

Evaluation of the China and Taiwan Air Force’s in the Context of Air Power Theory

Abstract

People's Republic of China-Taiwan relations are among the important security issues on a global scale. The study aimed to examine importance of Taiwan and role/impact of the Chinese Air Force in a possible military operation against Taiwan within the scope of Air Power Theory. The article is important in terms of understanding the capabilities and competencies that the Chinese Air Force may reveal in other possible military actions in the future. It has been understood that Taiwan has an important market potential for defense industry manufacturers all over the world, and that unmanned systems will play a critical role for the air force.
