As Chinese aircraft carriers pass through the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan responds face-to-face with missile test firings, and tensions in the surrounding seas are increasing.

According to Taiwanese media such as Yonhapbo on the 24th, the National Institute of Zhongshan Science and Technology (NCSIST), a national defense research institute in Taiwan, will test-fire a missile in the eastern waters of Taiwan from this day to the 31st.

The Yonhapbo cited the announcements of NCSIST, twice this month on the 24th, 25th, 28th, and 29th of this month and the 29th to 31st of this month. ) It is reported that they have announced anti-aircraft live ammunition training on the local coast. He explained that the firing altitude of this exercise is unlimited, and the range of fire is from the Zhufeng base to the far seas of eastern Hualien.

A military expert said that the missile to be tested this time is likely to be an improved type of missile with a range of’Tiangung 3′. He predicted that the test would be conducted by firing the missile in the Taitung area first, and then intercepting it with the Tiangung 3 missile at the Jufeng base.

Prior to this, as China’s first self-built aircraft carrier, Shandong, passed through the Taiwan Strait on the 20th, Taiwanese forces dispatched six ships and eight military aircraft to monitor the movement of the Shandong ship.

Taiwanese media previously held a delivery ceremony earlier this month, and the first stealth high-speed ship Tongjiang-class Anping ship of Taiwan’s Haishun-seo (sea view), which was put on a patrol mission in southern Taiwan, was a 2.75-inch (70mm) guided rocket developed by NCSIST. It was reported that six rocket bombs were deployed.

He added that it normally fires rescue flares, but in case of emergency, it can carry 42 2.75-inch rocket bombs, and that the ship is equipped with a missile launch system.

Meanwhile, on the evening of the 22nd, a Chinese ship appeared 38 nautical miles (approximately 70.37km) south of Lanyu Island in Taitung in eastern Taiwan, and moved toward the Bashi Strait at dawn on the 23rd, Taiwanese media reported.

The Taiwanese navy said that the Chinese ships did not enter the 24 nautical nautical nautical nautical nautical nautical nautical mile contiguous zone, and only engaged in surveillance. “The Taiwanese military is responding in real time by grasping all the dynamics of the sea area and airspace around the Taiwan Strait through joint intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance,” said Director General Su Sun-won, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan. “The current situation is normal.”
