Armed forces in Taiwan have test-fired its U.S.-made rocket system in a demonstration of how the island democracy would repel an attack from China.
The military on June 10 fired its Lockheed Martin-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, on the west coast of the country, in central Taiwan’s Taichung municipality.
That area faces China, directly across the Taiwan Strait. In the event of an invasion, it is considered the most likely location from which Beijing would attempt a military landing.
HIMARS is a light multiple rocket launcher mounted on a truck that can be driven out from a hidden position, fired, then quickly moved to a new location to fire missiles, and again be moved to yet another hidden position….
