Pelosi is about to visit Taiwan, and the atmosphere in the Taiwan Strait is unprecedentedly tense. The DPP authorities resisted stubbornly and tried to carry out practical drills to resist the unification with "martial arts", but everyone knows what the result is.
According to Taiwanese media reports, the Taipei air strike alarm sounded, and the entire Taipei city streets, government schools, markets, company factories, and mass transportation systems were in a consistent pace of air defense evacuation and shelter drills. On the same day, the "Hanguang Real-Soldier Exercise" kicked off.
cooperates with the evacuation drill. Taipei authorities require the driving vehicles to park immediately and the personnel in the car must leave the car as soon as possible. Drivers and passengers can only return to the car and continue their journey after the air strike alarm is over. Although it was an exercise, it was done very seriously.
Taipei City Fire Department issued a press release saying that the municipal government cooperated with the command of the Taiwan government and held a critical infrastructure disaster rescue drill at the Hulin Substation in Xinyi District, Taipei on Monday. The drill simulated the Hulin Substation being attacked by missile and caught fire, and various rescue work around this sudden war.
Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe said: " PLA military aircraft have often invaded Taiwan in recent years. In February, the Russian-Ukraine war even broke out. These things remind us that we should also be vigilant in peacetime. "
Taipei Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan told the media that she hopes to let Taipei citizens understand the importance of the exercise through physical drills as a possible response in the future.
On July 25, Taiwan simultaneously launched the Taiwan Army’s “Hanguang No. 38” live-fire exercise and the “Wan’an” joint air defense exercise of military and civilians. The lessons of the Russian army's attack on Ukraine and the continued rise of military pressure and war threats on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have filled the exercise with tension, as well as a sense of urgency and reality.
This year's "Hanguang Exercise No. 38" part of the war chess deduction of the Taiwan military this year was completed from May 16 to 20; while the live-fire exercise part lasted from July 25 to 29. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, public opinion said that PLA's military unification of Taiwan is imminent, which has made Taiwan very worried. Taiwan’s defense department said that this year’s “Han Guang” live-fire exercise was based on the experience and lessons learned from the European battlefield to simulate various possible modes of the People’s Liberation Army’s attack on Taiwan to respond and countermeasures. The exercise is a simulation of the People's Liberation Army having already taken the stage. The Taiwanese reserve soldiers equipped with machine guns ran into a trench excavated under a bridge, and used the sandbags of the trench to enter the shooting position to prevent the landed enemy troops from occupying Taipei City.
AFP quoted Su Ziyun, director of Taiwan's "National Defense Strategy" and "Resources Research Institute", as saying, "These are all part of the Ukrainian urban warfare." Using “underground bunkers help cover the defenders to repel the enemy’s assault forces.” Su Ziyun also revealed that some local high-rise buildings are also equipped with US-made "Sthorn" portable air defense missiles to deal with incoming helicopters and ultra-low altitude aircraft. It's very real.
"Hanguang" live-fire exercise 25 on the same day as started, Taipei City held an air defense exercise. The simulated air raid alarm sounded and the people were evacuated to a safe area. The "Wan'an 45" joint air defense exercise participated by Taiwan's military and civilians was also staged simultaneously. From Monday to Thursday, this exercise will take four days. From 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. every day, the air defense alarm will be sounded in the district and traffic control will be implemented.
The problem is that exercises are mostly routine. If the PLA really wants to enter Taiwan Island , no move will be used, it will not be a regular possibility, and it will definitely be extraordinary. Therefore, such air defense exercises are mostly drills, and it is difficult to have practical combat at all.
