This week, the Taiwanese military will conduct large-scale, five-day combat readiness exercises based on scenarios in which China suddenly turns one of its routine daily patrols around the island into an actual attack.
According to Ukrinform, Reuters reported this, citing the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense.
The exercises, which will begin on June 22 and last through June 26, will involve all branches of Taiwan’s armed forces, which will practice joint operations to repel an attempted attack.
A distinctive feature of these exercises is that they will be conducted under conditions as close to reality as possible.
"The main objective is to train units at all levels to become familiar with combat practices and the battlefield environment during the readiness deployment phase," the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense said.
