Taiwan received the initial installment of the first 11 of 29 HIMARS units it ordered last year. Taiwan tested the systems for the first time in May of this year.

TAICHUNG, Taiwan, >> Taiwan’s military began deploying one of its newest and most precise strike weapons today as part of intensifying drills meant to showcase the island’s determination to resist any Chinese invasion.

Taiwan's military conducted intensive exercises deploying HIMARS rocket systems to demonstrate readiness against possible Chinese aggression. The drills involve strategic maneuvers and simulations under realistic combat conditions.

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

Day four of Taiwan's annual Han Kuang military exercises saw a drill to repulse an invasion of the capital region to the deployment of some of Taiwan's newest U.S.-made HIMARS rocket systems in the central part of the country.

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.
