Taiwan has commenced deploying HIMARS ahead of significant live-fire drills aimed at demonstrating its resolve to counter any Chinese aggression. This move, part of the Han Kuang exercises, emphasizes Taiwan's military readiness against China's intensified military maneuvers around the island.

With a range of about 300km, Himars could strike coastal targets in China's southern province of Fujian. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has watched live-fire drills with new U.S.-made Abrams M1A2T tanks during annual defense exercises.

Taiwan's newly acquired HIMARS and Abrams tanks would raise the costs of a Chinese amphibious landing, a defense analyst says.

Much like Ukraine’s unexpectedly resilient defence, Taipei wants Beijing to understand that a military conflict would not be as easy, or predictable, as once thought.

In Hsinchu County, President William Lai (賴清德) monitored a live-fire exercise at the Kengzikou Range (坑子口訓練場) involving a platoon of M1A2T tanks purchased from the US. The tanks fired individually, in pairs and as a full platoon. Following the drill, the army said that the tanks had achieved “perfect” accuracy.

Expanded Han Kuang Exercise is simulating a prolonged PLA attack with a ‘scenario-driven, no spoiler’ approach, officials say.
