This year's drills have no script and simulate how to repel a Chinese attack.
TAOYUAN, Taiwan - Taiwan carried out anti-landing drills on a strategic river on July 22 at the start of the annual Han Kuang war games, which in 2024 aims to be as close as possible to actual combat, with no script and simulating how to repel a Chinese attack.
Kicking off the first day of exercises in Tamsui at the mouth of a major river leading to Taipei, soldiers practised laying mines and nets to stymie the landing of enemy forces, part of a series of drills designed to prevent the capital from being seized. Taiwan’s Defence Ministry also published a video of air force fighter jets at Hualien air base on the island’s east coast, which has hangars cut out of the side of a mountain to protect aircraft from aerial attack.
