# Taiwan begins 10-day Han Kuang drills with record reservist mobilisation 2026-08-06T14:21:45+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Taiwan has begun its annual 10-day Han Kuang military exercises, simulating responses to a potential Chinese invasion. The live-fire drills will test 24-hour defence operations, responses to China’s so-called grey-zone tactics and US-inspired communication methods for frontline decision-making. More than 5,000 reservists will take part, the largest reserve mobilisation in the exercise’s history, as troops practise moving from standby to active duty. Urban resilience exercises in Kaohsiung, Taichung and Taipei will simulate telecommunications disruption by temporarily reducing mobile internet speeds. Taiwan will also display newly acquired M1A2T Abrams tanks. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: China, Han Kuang, military exercises, reservists, Taiwan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/taiwan-begins-10-day-han-kuang-drills-with-record-reservist-mobilisation/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
