Taiwan’s jet fighters roared about the island’s skies, simulating responses to invasions by Chinese aircraft. In part, the drill simulated the use of emergency runways to be used in case air bases had been destroyed.
台湾喷射机在岛上天空呼啸而过，模拟应对中国飞机的入侵。其中一部分操练，是模拟空军基地被摧毁后，机场紧急跑道的使用。

[Chen Kuo-hua, Taiwanese Air Force Officer]:
“In today’s scenarios, we assume that most of Taiwan’s military air bases are severely damaged by the enemy’s guided missile attacks, the fighter jets cannot go back to the home bases."
台湾空军官员陈国华说：“今天演习的剧本，我们是假设大部分台湾空军基地都遭到敌人导弹攻击而被严重破坏，战斗机无法返回基地的情形。”

China’s communist regime has claimed Taiwan as its own since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949 and vowed to bring the island under its rule, by force if necessary. Recent years seem to have led to reduced tensions–but military strategists and political leaders still commonly refer to the possibility of full-scale war.
1949年中国内战结束以来，中共政权便声称台湾是它的一部分，并誓言要实现统治台湾岛，必要时动用武力也在所不惜。近年来紧张局势似乎有减少 – 但军事战略家和政治领导者们通常仍指向有全面规模战争的可能性。

Taiwan is currently negotiating large-scale purchases of improved military hardware from the United States. The US has not yet approved a full-scale upgrade of Taiwan’s current F-16A/B fighters to the F-16C/D model, which would significantly enhance Taiwan’s defense capacity.
台湾目前正与美国协商大规模采购改良型军事硬体设备。将台湾目前的F -16A / B战机全面升级F – 16C/ D型，将显着提升台湾的防御能力。不过美国方面尚未批准。
