China Taiwan Network August 12th According to Taiwan's China Times, after the People's Liberation Army showed the strength of Dongfeng missiles around the Taiwan Strait at the beginning of this month, Taiwan's "Chinese Academy of Sciences" ( Taiwan Military highest military research institution) plans to carry out four days of "maximum ballistic infinite height" artillery shooting on the outer seas at the Jiupeng Base in Pingtung starting from the 18th.
According to reports, Taiwan's legislature reviewed and passed the "Special Budget for the Procurement of the Sea and Air Combat Power Improvement Plan" of NT$237 billion. The schedule is from this year to 2026 and will be implemented in five years. The main part of the budget is to produce and produce various types of missiles in Taiwan. Therefore, the agency has carried out intensive artillery tests in recent months.
"Chinese Academy of Sciences" announced in July that it would shoot from the Jiupeng Base in Pingtung to the eastern and northeastern coasts of Taitung on the evenings of the 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th. The maximum ballistic was "infinitely high", and the dangerous sea area was more than 200 kilometers from the coast of Taiwan to the outer coast. Huang Xuchang, the relevant person in charge of the institution, said that the announcement has not been cancelled yet.
It is reported that since the 9th, the Taiwan military has continued to carry out "Sky Thunder Exercise" heavy artillery shooting drill at Fenggang Training Ground in Pingtung, with 40 155 howitzers distributed on the coastline for 1 kilometer.
Taiwan military personnel said that recently the People's Liberation Army exercised in the eastern waters of Taiwan. The missile destroyers and electronic reconnaissance ship appeared in the Huadong Outside Sea, and even in the adjacent area of 24 nautical miles from the coast of Taiwan. As of the 10th, three missile destroyers and one electronic reconnaissance ship remained in the Huadong Outside Sea.
It is reported that after the People's Liberation Army's four-day "military exercises around Taiwan", Tsai Ing-wen went to the Taiwan Air Force Operations Command for the first time yesterday, shouting to the outside world that "it will not raise conflicts, nor will it provoke disputes, and will stick to the democratic and free defense line."
Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian had previously made it clear that the DPP authorities openly carried out naked military threats and provocations to the mainland, overestimated their abilities, and attempted to connect with external forces to "use martial arts to seek independence", intensify tension in the Taiwan Strait, which will only seriously undermine the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, bring serious disasters to the people of Taiwan, and will eventually be a dead end.
