Is the "Han-Guang Military Exercise" a show?

Although the Hanguang exercise has come to an end, the people on the island do not believe that they are "defended." Recently, some media questioned that the Hanguang exercise was out of touch with reality and was purely a "show-style exercise." In the face of media criticism, according to media reports on June 13, a senior Taiwan military official said bluntly that even a "show-style" drill can have a deterrent effect and boost the morale of the Taiwan military. There is no such effect.”

On June 9, Taiwanese media quoted Allen Lin, a retired non-commissioned officer of the US military’s civil affairs psychological warfare unit and an American military blogger who served in Iraq, who watched the live broadcast of the exercise. AL Len Lin said that the setting of this exercise itself has big problems, and there are many logical illogicalities. Except for the display of weapons and fighter planes, the entire tactical logic is illogical and there is nothing new.

Faced with doubts from the outside world, Taiwan’s top military officials have their own rhetoric. According to Taiwanese media reports on June 13, some Taiwanese media criticized the Han Kuang-34 exercise as "acting." In the face of media criticism, senior generals of the Taiwan military publicly declared, "If the Taiwan military is terrible, it will not be able to achieve such results." Taichung Qingquan Gang is just one of the drill modes. The show-style drill can not only let the outside world understand Taiwan Military energy has the function of boosting morale within the military and has the effect of "deterring the enemy" externally.

The Taiwan military also gave an example. During the 50-minute exercise at Qingquan Gang in Taichung, every minute and every second of the exercise must be well controlled and cannot be ignored. Since this exercise involves joint operations, if the F-16 , IDF fighter planes turn at too large a angle, often causing delays of more than 5 minutes, so proper air control is very important. A successful exercise will definitely reveal many problems and shortcomings. But we will not blame officers and soldiers because of their shortcomings and deficiencies.
