ROCAF deploys air defense systems at Hsinchu after simulated PLA missile strike drill

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

The ROCAF deployed NCSIST-developed Antelope short-range air defense systems at Hsinchu Air Base on Aug. 7 to protect personnel conducting emergency runway repairs after a simulated PLA missile strike. Each truck-mounted system carries four Tien Chien I infrared-guided missiles and a short-range search radar. The more than 20-year-old system provided local air defense while Mirage 2000-5s conducted rapid rearmament and emergency takeoff drills. 📸: LTN
