美國太平洋司令帕帕羅(Samuel Paparo)上將。他接受《時代雜誌》(TIME)專訪,談及以「拒止嚇阻」(deterrence by denial)防範中國對台動武,以及若嚇阻失敗的「地獄景象」(Hellscape)作戰構想。

美國《時代雜誌》(TIME)24日刊出美國太平洋司令部司令帕帕羅(Samuel Paparo)上將專訪,並將他列為10月12日號封面人物。帕帕羅在專訪中詳述其防衛理念,將「拒止嚇阻」(deterrence by denial)視為防範台海衝突的核心,目標是讓中國相信武力犯台很可能遭到阻止;若嚇阻失敗,他則提出以大量低成本、量產的精準無人機搭配傳統高科技飛彈火力,形成「地獄景象」(Hellscape)的作戰構想。

美國國防部6月正式宣布,將美國印太司令部恢復為歷史名稱美國太平洋司令部(U.S. Pacific Command,USPACOM)。帕帕羅執掌美軍歷史最悠久、規模最大的地理作戰司令部,責任區涵蓋約半個地球,麾下約40萬名軍職與文職人員,太平洋艦隊擁有約200艘軍艦、5個航艦打擊群及超過1000架軍機。TIME指出,美國在太平洋的主導地位正面臨二戰以來最嚴峻的挑戰,而帕帕羅肩負的主要任務是嚇阻中國對台採取軍事行動。

帕帕羅援引《孫子兵法》表示,「不戰而屈人之兵」是最高的軍事技巧。他說:「對我而言,任務成功不是打一場仗然後獲勝,而是提供足以嚇阻對手的能力,讓我們根本不必開戰。」他強調,拒止嚇阻的關鍵,是向對手展現可信的作戰能力與意志,同時保護核心軍事機密,讓對手知道涉及美國直接且重要利益時,侵略行動很可能遭到阻止。

若嚇阻失敗 台海將成「地獄景象」

然而,面對解放軍海軍規模已擴增至25年前的12倍,帕帕羅表示,美軍仍須為嚇阻失敗做好實戰準備。他構想一旦台海爆發衝突,美軍將動用大量低成本、量產的精準無人機充斥台灣海峽,搭配傳統高科技飛彈火力,形成「地獄景象」,阻止中國發動兩棲登陸,或至少大幅延緩登陸行動,「目標是讓侵略者無法利用這片戰場空間」。

TIME指出,華府智庫「戰略暨國際研究中心」(CSIS)2023年台海兵推顯示,美軍雖能在多數情境下擊退侵台共軍,但代價可能包括損失2艘航艦、數十艘軍艦及數百架軍機,為二戰以來最慘重的折損;而當時兵推尚未計入美軍在中東戰事消耗的飛彈庫存。

儘管挑戰嚴峻,帕帕羅在專訪中表示:「我有信心我們有能力獲勝。」他說,目前努力的重點不是證明美軍能夠打贏,而是盡可能拉大獲勝的餘裕,降低戰爭在人命、作戰能力、金錢與時間上的代價,希望把這筆帳一路壓到零。

帕帕羅登上《時代》10月12日號封面,背景為F-35戰機。《時代》9月24日刊出帕帕羅專訪,談及「拒止嚇阻」與台海作戰構想。

Open Questions

  • 無人機與飛彈庫存是否足以支應衝突?
  • 美軍在中東的消耗對印太部署的實際影響為何?

Cape Canaveral Space Force Base to deploy laser anti-drone system

The Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in the United States will deploy a directed energy anti-drone laser system to protect national security launch missions from low-altitude drone threats. The base supports a large number of commercial and military space launches, and there have been many incidents of unauthorized drone flights in the nearby area. Laser systems are considered a safer option than radio interference, but due to limitations in power supply, heat dissipation, range and weather, multiple systems may be needed to provide comprehensive defense.
