Taiwan’s armed forces hold coastal drills FMTNews FMTWorld
Taiwan’s coast guard, military, police and airborne services all took part in today’s drills.
The island holds frequent military drills in the face of increasing military and political pressures from China, including near-daily Chinese warplane incursions into its air defence zone. At Kaohsiung port today, the coast guard, military, police and airborne services simulated a hostage situation, accompanied by action-movie music and an ongoing narration of the “attack”.“We are going to board and inspect your ship!”The officers managed to “covertly” board the ship, and they opened fire – not live rounds – on the yellow-clad hostage takers.“Everyone who participated in today’s drill are our country’s frontline defenders.
Since Tsai – who rejects that Taiwan is a part of China – came to power in 2016, the island has seen increased incursions by Beijing’s boats warplanes.
