Taiwan


Taiwan Air Force's F-16 fighter jet takes off from the closed-off section of Sun Yat-sen freeway at Chang-hua county in central Taiwan on Tuesday, May 15. Taiwan is staging a series of live-fire military exercises this week aimed at demonstrating how the island's armed forces would fight off an attack from arch rival China, the Defence Ministry said. The fighter jets were practicing for the possibility that air bases were knocked out by enemy attacks forcing jets to refuel and re-equip elsewhere.
