Taiwanese Troops Train To Use Subway To Their Advantage During Chinese Invasion Of Taipei
![]() 781 Tuesday, 15 July, 2025, 21:16 Taiwanese forces, including personnel armed with Stinger shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, have used the subway to maneuver around the capital city of Taipei as part of a major annual exercise for what looks to be the first time. The Taipei Metro could offer an inherently hardened means of moving troops and supplies around in the event of an invasion from the mainland, wherein key facilities above ground would be heavily targeted. Taiwan’s military already regularly trains for urban warfare, which would be a central feature of any future conflict with the People’s Republic of China, especially in Taipei. Authorities in Taiwan very publicly highlighted the use of the Taipei Metro, also commonly referred to by the acronym MRT, as part of the annual Han Kuang Exercise earlier today. Han Kuang is centered on demonstrating preparedness across the island, as well as in outlying areas under Taipei’s control, to counter a major intervention by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). |
