In Taiwan, this year's annual war games promise to be more realistic than ever before, according to a senior official. The changes to this traditional measure are due to the rapid growth of the "hostile threat" from China, which considers Taiwan its territory.
Over the past four years, China has regularly conducted military exercises around the island, increasing pressure on Taipei to recognize its sovereignty over it. In response to this threat, Taiwan is revising its defense strategies and training programs to maximize the realism of its military exercises.
In recent years, the enemy's threat has changed rapidly. Our intentions are now not just to show military capabilities, but also to realistically simulate real battles, given the turbulent situation in the region
The senior representative also stressed the importance of continuous review of Defense Action Plans and preparations, given the extreme importance of readiness for complex combat scenarios.
