Live-fire success for Taiwan's Land Sword II missiles raises stakes for China - Times of India
==========
Taiwan has conducted a live-fire test of its Land Sword II air defense system, raising the stakes for China amid escalating tensions. The test, which took place at the Jiupeng Military Base in Pingtung, demonstrated the system's effectiveness in intercepting target drones. The Land Sword II system is designed to replace Taiwan's aging US-made Chaparral system and is capable of performing 360-degree surveillance and detecting various types of aircraft and missiles. Political scientist Raymond Kuo highlighted the strategic importance of such air defense systems, stating that they could negate China's numerical superiority in warplanes and missiles. Taiwan's advancements in military technology reflect its determination to safeguard its sovereignty and security in the face of increasing threats.
