Taiwan holds massive Han Kuang military drills as tensions with China build
CNN
This year's annual Taiwanese military drills have taken on a greater significance amid growing concerns over China's intentions toward the self-governing island.
In response, Taiwan's military scrambles Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) jets and tanks, while ground troops detonate explosives to stop the advancement.
The scenes are part of the week-long Han Kuang exercises held across Taiwan and its outlying islands until Friday. The annual event has been running since 1984 and involves all branches of Taiwan's military -- including its reserve forces -- in an effort to boost overall defense capabilities.
