Navy Stages Lunar New Year Defense Drill
Posted on 2025-01-10 07:31:13
Taiwan's military showcased its readiness Thursday with a naval drill near
Kaohsiung's Tsoying Harbor, simulating a response to approaching Chinese
vessels.

The exercise is part of the Ministry of National Defense's annual pre-Lunar
New Year operations to demonstrate defense capabilities during the holiday.

Two Tuo Chiang-class corvettes and four missile boats simulated engaging
enemy ships at speeds over twenty knots, while missile vehicles provided
backup from shore.

The drill mirrors the Navy's routine patrols countering Chinese "gray zone"
activities near Taiwan.

The Navy also displayed its new Da Wu-class rescue ship, which is set to be
officially commissioned this year.

Major General Chen Ming-feng (陳明(峰)) said the military will continue
enhancing drills to prepare for potential wartime scenarios.
