Taiwanese military launches five-day computer exercise

A Taiwanese soldier takes part in a drill earlier this year

P-3Cs and AH-64Ds are some of the weapons systems included in the drill, which simulates an attack by China 

The armed forces yesterday launched a five-day series of computer-simulated exercises incorporating maritime patrol aircraft and attack helicopters that are scheduled to enter service over the next year. 

The computer scenario, which simulates an attack from China and is part of the Han Kuang 28 series of military exercises, included P-3C “Orion” maritime patrol aircraft and AH-64D Longbow attack helicopters, among other platforms, to see how they would fare in a combat environment.
