Although Taiwan’s military exercises close to the actual claim, but the Taiwan media has launched its award for the “Han Kuang ever mess.”

analog PLA amphibious landing

Pingtung, Taiwan will increase the default to the mainland Lu Tong Beach People’s Liberation Army, “landed the battlefield”, and sent F- 16s and AAV-7 amphibious assault vehicles, air and sea simulation joint landing PLA. Exercise, in the gun and the Air Force 455 Wing 8 F-16 fighter support, the first Taiwan trip 66 Marines aboard amphibious assault vehicle battalion onto the beach, and plug in for “People’s Liberation Army troops,” the red flag .

order in a timely manner to prevent the other landing, the Taiwan military’s UH-1H utility helicopters and AH-1W helicopter armed forces quickly mobilized to force delivery and fire suppression. Taichung, Taiwan Army Air commandos dispatched 19 UH-1H transport a battalion of special forces to reinforce the beach defenders, and finally defeated the “enemy.” And in March last year into the armed forces of the AH-1W helicopter units is more eye-catching, the helicopter unit in the engine stop, turn the propeller according to the case by the ground crew refueling, mounted ammunition. Taiwan media reports, Taiwan’s military tank and oil bag with emergency fuel for the helicopters, only 56 minutes, and each oil bag for more than 3 hours flying helicopters.

Taiwan “land based” deputy commander of the helicopter unit’s performance Wu Sihuai big plus praise. He said land and air operations greatly reduced cross-reinforcement space and time, transporting troops by road to three hours, and air mobility is only 36 minutes, armed helicopters, “heat” (engine stop) fuel, also linked to bomb help to master the “enemy opportunities.”

original masters of jungle warfare weapons

addition to anti-landing, jungle warfare is the highlight of the exercise. Han Kuang exercises 5 days (April 30), even in Hualien, Taiwan Wanrong back mountain town shows a series of local characteristics rather trap. According to Taiwan’s ETTV disclosure, the force is absolutely Hualien army, of which 30% of indigenous people, good at the jungle warfare. According to Taiwan News Agency revealed that mountain with the main use of camouflage techniques, hiding in ambush positions, and set the sweep Sap, to crater, wooden arrows mask, a head cut, overlooking the sprint and other traps, but also with bows and arrows, Chuijian etc. silent weapons to launch surprise attacks.

Taiwan military officer said, based on years of experience in the exercise, soldiers eat hot meals in the rainy-day food and clothing can not only solve the problem, you can also improve morale.

“as if war exercises” into a laughing stock

as a show of strength, Taiwan’s media are also invited to the scene to observe military exercises, the results do not even fool of myself. According to Taiwan’s “United” disclosure, when combined with wind and rain kill the reporter group to the Hualien Air Base, they do not see a fighter, only excavator to run back and forth on the runway, is striking.

Taiwan Air Force’s explanation for the bad weather, but Carter, airliner landing on the side. Taiwan’s military calls “combat exercises as if” on the spot into a joke.

fighters lying in addition to nest, the 66th Marines Taiwan trip has exposed even more ridiculous “sneak incident.” In accordance with the exercise plan, the brigade 7:00 pm this the proceeding in reinforcements, but the brigade is in the same morning in advance of launching 4, when the media at 2:00 pm the resident would like to see their style, the brigade has already disappeared. Coordination with the Army Corps generals criticized “AWOL”: station troops all ran away, how to do when you really want to fight?

Media Watch: female star sought after by the media

to observe military exercises in the Taiwan media’s eyes, female is the largest military exercise to see point. Taiwan Marine Corps brigade of 38 female 66 to become the “United Daily News”, ETTV Taiwan media focus on other goals. The Marine Corps camouflage painted female face, heavily armed, carrying more than 10 kilograms, and male soldiers fought together in the rain. 19-year-old Yu Wei-ting said she had Major advertising design, to give up technology companies participated in the hard work of the Marine Corps is known, although opposed by his family, but never remorse.

intense exercise in the process of vision comparable to “search” the Taiwan media also capture a more star quality of the female. Army Communications Division Zhang Shuhan, aged 22, Taiwan media said it not only looks like a Taiwanese boy bands S · H · E of Selina (Ren Jiaxuan), but also, and Taiwan, “Billiards diva” Zhang Shuhan the same name.

It is said that “female star” was originally a student of beauty salons, because pretty also worked as Taiwan’s military recruiters. However, the media, the “female star” of the operation of the gun moves seemed very strange, but also two Executive approached the siege. (Weidong Xu)
