Taiwan’s military conducted a live-fire drill, launching several anti-air missiles in response to growing military pressure from China.
The exercise took place at the Jiupeng Military Base in Pingtung located in southern Taiwan.
Among the missiles launched were Taiwan's domestically-made Sky Bow III anti-ballistic missiles, U.S.-made Patriot PAC II missiles and U.S- made standard Missile.
The Sky Bow III is a key component of Taiwan’s air defense system, designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles, while the Patriot PAC II serves as a critical element in countering aerial threats, including enemy aircraft and cruise missiles.
