Asia Times – Taiwan’s annual air defense drill to prepare the island against an aerial and missile offensive by the Chinese military will see expanded use of an island-wide air-raid alert system that, among other functions, will send text messages to civilians when a major blitz is imminent.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry revealed that the system, already tested last year in central and southern counties, would be tried out more extensively throughout the island this week during a simulated missile strike as part of a broader air defense drill.
