Taiwan Dares China With Live-Fire HIMARS Rocket Launcher Tests, U.S Speeds Up Weapon Flow to Allies

Taiwan has begun live-fire HIMARS drills at Jiupeng base, testing U.S.-supplied systems amid rising tensions in the South China Sea.

The military exercise—part of a broader training campaign through June 2025—includes high-precision ATACMS missile launches and underscores Taiwan’s defense readiness.

The U.S. has accelerated weapon shipments, with Taiwan set to receive 29 HIMARS launchers and hundreds of missiles by 2027.

As Chinese aggression intensifies, regional allies including the U.S. are reinforcing their presence.

Taiwan’s show of strength sends a clear message: it’s prepared and watching closely.
