The CM-32 takes advantage of the fact that China's ability to land hand heavy armor is very limited so medium to light armor they can land can be easily dealt with a 105mm gun

Tawian has number of MIM-72 Chaparrals with AIM-9s and Avengers with Stingers for countering an aerial invasion The CM-32 with 105mm takes advantage of the fact that China has extremely limited resources for landing heavy armor by air What China armor can deliver by air is easily dealt with by 105mm. Even if the paratroopers are armed with ATGMs, without armor or air support, they wont last long Tawain can simply box them in and pound them with arty Tawian has a lot highly mobile air defense just for denying China an air assault

@tainechen1634 The whole point of Taiwan getting hardened bunkers and highly mobile assets is for that exactly reason Secondly their strikes doesnt change the fact that one solider with MANPAD can easily bring done Y-20

@RobFomenko You can still use paratroopers without complete control of the air but you would have to carve a hole for them to get in Ideally , you wanna air drop them with Humvees with ATGM like the Spike NLOS for anti armor and Stingers for air defense Air dropping Humvee Hawkete with 105mm would also needed The combo all 3 would allow paratroopers to hold out as well be mobile increasing their survival Without vehicle support, they are easy targets

@RobFomenko Hence why SEAD is needed to carve out that hole

@Alex-o4j4t How about no There are images of the CM-32 side by side with other models and the height difference is only a few inches at most The CM-32 with 30mm side by side with 105mm shows there is no height difference

@Alex-o4j4t There is no height between the CM-32 equipped with 30mm and the 105mm variant Nor is there certain tunnel issue thats just made up The CM-32 baseline is height 7 ft while tanks and self-propelled howitzers height is 11 ft Thats M109, CM-11 and M-60s all over 10ft The CM-32 turret at most puts it at 8 and half feet, 9 ft at most For ample clearance, tunnels would have be at least 13 ft The key requirement for force dispersal is commonality so any asset can take shelter in any location by saying on certain location can house certain assets, you have basically told the enemy where critical are stored

@Alex-o4j4t Again wrong with made up nonsense The bulk of modern IFV/APC height averages between 7-9 ft Even the Japanse Type-16 , US Stryker MGS and German boxer is are 9ft So literally no Tawian would slow project for a few inches

@Alex-o4j4t Again there are images that show them side by side with other and there is no magic height difference
