Intelligence summary

Taiwan’s 1st Theater of Operations conducted an offshore-island special reconnaissance and joint-fire drill in Penghu on Aug. 12. Amphibious reconnaissance troops used Sea Dragon and Cheng Kung boats, closed-circuit diving gear, and UAVs to infiltrate a target island, establish observation positions, and identify enemy forces and key facilities. Target data was then transmitted through TAK to guide long-range precision fires, testing the full infiltration-to-targeting kill chain. 📸: Cai Fangy
