According to media reports, Taiwan's defense department conducted a "precision missile shooting" exercise at the Jiupeng Missile Base in Pingtung today. It is said that a variety of highly confidential missiles participated in the test firing, and the current head of Taiwan's defense department, Gu Lixiong, watched it for the first time. At the same time, in order to expand its momentum, the Democratic Progressive Party invited many media to participate in the on-site reporting, just like a performance.

It is said that the so-called "Air Force Air Defense and Missile Command" of Taiwan organized the launch of two US-made "Patriot" PAC-2 and one domestically-made "Sky Bow III" missile to simulate the "overall air defense combat phase scenario". After launching three missiles, the Taiwan Defense Department claimed that the target aircraft was 30 kilometers away and beyond the visual range, but all three missiles "successfully hit".

At the same time, a Cheng Kung-class missile frigate off the coast of Pingtung launched a RIM-66E "Standard" SM-1 ship-to-air missile during an exercise. The Taiwan military did not comment on whether the missile hit the intended target.

According to relevant sources, earlier today, the Taiwan military secretly launched a cruise missile named "Hsiung Feng 2E", but it has not been confirmed by the Taiwan Defense Department, which claims that this type of missile is "highly confidential" and will not be disclosed to the public. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Taiwan military played hard to get by secretly releasing the news of the so-called "top-secret weapon", which has led to extensive discussions on the island, and used this to boast that it has the ability to engage in armed confrontation with the mainland, to achieve its despicable goal of "resisting reunification by force", and even to "give itself courage".
