Taipei uses supersonic warplanes and helicopters to destroy submarines. Meanwhile, the plane of the Chinese leader is approaching Moscow.
On March 20, the Taiwanese military began an annual military exercise involving Air Force aircraft and Navy submarines to test consistency in the conduct of hostilities. This was reported by the local edition of the CNA, citing a military source.
Journalists said that the exercises will continue until March 23, due to escalating military tensions from China.
The maneuvers include F-16Vs and Mirage-2000 5s fighters, Indigenous Defense Fighters (IDF) supersonic fighters and P-3C fighters to destroy submarines. In addition, the Taiwanese army will withdraw S-70C anti-submarine helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Taiwan Air Force recently held a seminar for flight instructors at Hualien Air Base. They were trained in air combat with F-16Vs, Mirage-2000 5s and the IDF.
The military explained the essence of the maneuvers as “Chinese warplanes regularly enter Taiwan’s air defense zone, and warships cruise near territorial waters.”
