Han Kuang 42 Drills Begin as Air Force Relocates Jets for Combat Preservation

The Han Kuang 42 live-fire military exercise commenced on August 5, 2026, and is scheduled to run for 10 days and 9 nights until August 14. On the first day of the major drills, Taiwan's Air Force fighter jets conducted tactical relocations to designated areas for combat preservation, while air defense forces were fully deployed in combat readiness. Simultaneously, Navy vessels completed replenishment and departed for designated anchorage areas to guard against potential grey-zone harassment and any transition from exercises to active combat by opposing forces.
