The Taiwanese Air Force, also known as the Republic of China Air Force, or ROCAF, has uncharacteristically released photos of weapons loading operations that were carried out in the highly-fortified underground cave-like complex connected to Chiashan Air Force Base. The photos offer a very rare look inside the subterranean tunnel network that houses some of the ROCAF’s most capable fighter jets, including the recently upgraded F-16V Viper that can be seen in the images being armed with Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
The ROCAF posted a photo set of the weapons loading exercise on Facebook this morning, writing that the practice is related to day two of the annual military Han Kuang Exercise. A rough machine translation of the post elucidates that the subjects in the photos, who are said to be part of the ROCAF’s 5th Tactical Composite Wing, were demonstrating their ability to both replenish an aircraft’s ammunition and ready it for takeoff in a particular timeframe. While the official ROCAF post doesn’t name the specific aircraft used during the exercise, an F-16 Viper is clearly the platform being armed.

That’s a nice dam you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
“ Does anyone know if Taiwan has developed nuclear weapons over the years?”
***************************************************************
Whoever knows ain’t tellin’.
You’d be surprised how much world order Trump would immediately bring to the table. That’s assuming the idiots and traitors in DC don’t blow the world up first.
Can they be launched out the cave door?
Here is what the 50 year old teenage girl thin skinned narcissist dictator said in 2013, when asked which country he admires after Canada. His/hers/its (must be inclusive, doncha know) answer was, "There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar’.“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar’." (The quote begins at 0:39, of the fawning news story.)
Taiwan shouldn't expect any help from Canaduh, at least not under juvenile dictator Justin Castreau.

It is a misake to assume war always involves shooting. It doesn't.
2,500 years ago, Sun Tzu spoke of how the best war is one won off the traditional field of battle.
WWIII is raging in America right now and, from all appearances, the enemy is winning.
Even our military is being defeated by those fighting under the flag of the rainbow.
12hrs if the US gets involved under Biden.
I understand what you’re saying. Donald Trump was fighting WWIII with China and was winning before they released the bio attack on us. That was most definitely an act of war. The point I was making was that Trump could manage to keep the war economic and cultural, not the war Biden/Global, Inc. will stumble us into where everyone you ever knew ends up dead.
He is a flame thrower and thermobaric bomb combined. That's why he is so despised by our enemies within and without.
Built into the mountainside near Chiashan Air Force Base in Hualien is a network of tunnels that lead to fortified underground hangars that serve as a sanctuary for some of the ROCAF’s fleet of fighter jets.
Is that too much info?
......watching those “Load Toads” doing their thing brings back memories...and those weapons that are being loaded on to those wing weapons pylons are the real thing, not inert or practice weapons...I like those “jammers” they are using...very neat looking...
Looks like a laboratory. I remember the weapons crews working with improvised lighting. And mosquitos.
I expect their Deep State affiliates and billionaire caste have already cut a deal with Xi. It will be like Hong Kong, with less visible mess.
Got that right, but the number is a metaphor:
I believe the CCP has had 50 years to plan for such a scenario and that the Taiwanese don’t have the stomach for destruction.
From all that I’ve read and those I’ve spoken to, I believe that they’ll go quietly - mostly - just like HK. Shameful, really, but that’s the primary reason I don’t support war with CCP over Taiwan.
...and not even harm the cat.
EXACTLY.
I'm sure China knows all about this place and has a plan to defeat it. Like a cruise missile targeted on each entrance. Wouldn't even need bunker busters. Just trap all those nice planes underground.
