For the first time, these multiple launch rocket systems were used in the west of the island, in Taichung, simulating a potential invasion by China. Such manoeuvres underscore the modernisation of Taiwan's defence forces and their increased mobility.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Taiwan first used HIMARS in the west of the country in a military exercise.<\/li>\n<li>The manoeuvres simulated an attack on Chinese troops using \u00abshout-and-score\u00bb tactics.<\/li>\n<li>HIMARS has a range of about 300 km and can hit targets in China's Fujian province.<\/li>\n<li>The exercise demonstrates Taiwan's desire to modernise its army for asymmetric warfare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Military exercise with HIMARS in western Taiwan<\/h2>\n<p>According to the information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/china\/taiwan-fires-battle-tested-rockets-shoot-and-scoot-anti-invasion-drill-2026-06-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>, Taiwanese army conducted exercises with the use of multiple launch rocket systems <strong>HIMARS<\/strong>, The new missiles were manufactured by Lockheed Martin. This time, the live-fire took place in the west of the island, in the central Taichung region. This is the first time HIMARS has been used in this area, where there is a high probability of Chinese troops landing across the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\n<p>During the manoeuvres, the military simulated an attack on a conditional aggressor using the \u00abshoot-and-squeeze\u00bb tactic - a quick fire attack on the target followed by an immediate withdrawal to avoid enemy counterattacks. The unit commander <strong>Ko Ming-ping<\/strong> confirmed the successful completion of the training and the reliability of the system in combat conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>The tactical significance of HIMARS for Taiwan<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/kndr-himars-kopiya-parad\/\">HIMARS<\/a> has a range of about 300 kilometres, which allows it to hit targets in China, in particular Fujian Province, located opposite Taiwan. Such power makes it possible to strike Chinese troops on the approaches to the island, which greatly complicates the plans of a potential enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan's defence forces are combining HIMARS with their own Thunderbolt-2000 launchers, which were used on the first day of the exercise. This combination increases defence effectiveness by enabling fast and accurate strikes against enemy landing parties and ships.<\/p>\n<h2>Army modernisation and defence strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Given China's constant provocations, Taiwan is actively modernising its armed forces, focusing on asymmetric warfare. The HIMARS and Thunderbolt-2000 mobile systems allow for a \u00abhedgehog\u00bb defence strategy, when it is difficult to inflict a devastating blow on the island.<\/p>\n<p>Regular flights of Chinese aircraft and <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/kitaj-operaciya-vody-tayvan\/\">passage of warships<\/a> near Taiwan confirm the high level of tension in the region. Military exercises with new missile systems have a deterrent effect and demonstrate Taiwan's readiness to defend its sovereignty.<\/p>\n<h2>Political context and international support<\/h2>\n<p>Taiwan rejects China's claims to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/kitaj-patruli-tajvan-provokatsiya\/\">sovereignty over the island<\/a>, emphasising that only its people have the right to determine their own future. The use of HIMARS, widely known for the war in Ukraine, also signals Taiwan's commitment to using modern technology and partner support to enhance its defence capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The exercise comes amid growing international attention to security in the Taiwan Strait, which makes the island's defence measures a key factor in regional stability.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430 \u0430\u0440\u043c\u0456\u044f \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043b\u0430
