Taipei and Kaohsiung buildings have been locked on, it seems this time it's serious, just waiting for the order!
During this "Justice Mission" exercise in 2025, for the first time under a realistic combat background, the drone system conducted high-precision close-range reconnaissance of key targets in the northern, central, and southern parts of the island. Among them, the Taipei 101 Tower, the Kaohsiung 85 Building, and the hangars and runways of the Hsinchu Air Force Base were clearly photographed and publicly disclosed.
This series of actions sends a clear signal: once the situation escalates, these targets are already within the range of firepower coverage and strike plans.
The drone flight path is not random; it precisely covers three strategic nodes: the north, middle, and south. The Taipei 101 Tower is not only a landmark building but also a financial and communication hub; the area around the Kaohsiung 85 Building is concentrated with ports, oil refining facilities, and military logistics units; the Hsinchu base is an important deployment location for the Republic of China Air Force's F-16V fighter jets.
These three locations respectively represent the administrative center of the island, the southern operational support point, and the core of aerial counterattack capabilities. Drones being able to operate stably at low altitudes in these areas indicate that the mainland has acquired a considerable level of electromagnetic suppression, air defense penetration, and real-time intelligence transmission capabilities.
The coordinates of the relevant targets, weak points in defense, and surrounding environmental data may have already been integrated into the combat database. In other words, once the situation enters a wartime state, these locations will no longer be "symbolic targets," but tactical nodes that can be immediately attacked with precision.
The release of these photos will undoubtedly have a direct psychological impact on the Taiwanese military.
