Wendell Minnick, Taiwan: Report Highlights Fighter Gap with China.
Defense News, May 11, 2010.

My comment:
(a) The "C2" in "C2 facilities" represents "command and control."
(b) Quotes from the report:
"Taiwan defense officials and defense industry sources indicated continued
denials of new fighters could force Taiwan to develop a pre-emptive strike
posture.
"The report does acknowledge Taiwan's development of a 'deep-strike
capability' that is driven by a 'need to neutralize high-value military
targets.'
It is high time that Taiwan owns the capability. And Taiwan should conduct
pre-emptive strikes when called for, I say.
(c) Tactical ballistic missile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_ballistic_missile
("A tactical ballistic missile is a ballistic missile designed for short-
range battlefield use. Typically range is less than 300 km")
(d) For "TC-2A," see Sky Sword II
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Sword_II
(TC-2 stands for 天劍二 Tien Chien II)
(e) The last sentence of the report states, "Sources in Taipei caution that
the upcoming presidential election in 2012 could see the pro-independence
Democratic Progressive Party return to power, resulting in a violent
reaction by China."
"I shall return." General Douglas MacArthur, in March 1942. When that
happens, we the anti-KMT WILL abrogate all agreements President Ma, his
administration and MT signed or will sign with China. Damned sure China will
react "violent[ly]." So be it.

Council, May 2010.
