US lawmakers set to approve additional billions of dollars in military aid for #Taiwan

The US Senate will address a bill that plans to supply the island with war supplies worth 10,000 million dollars over five years.

US congressmen have signaled their willingness to bolster Taiwan's defense and say they are willing to approve additional billions of dollars in military aid for Taipei, Politico reports.

This week, a defense policy bill was presented to the US Senate that includes numerous provisions to strengthen cooperation with the island and that provides for military aid of 10,000 million dollars over five years.

"We must anticipate a future crisis and give [Chinese President] Xi Jinping reasons to think twice before invading or coercing Taiwan," Jim Risch, a senator from the state of Idaho, told that outlet.

If the project is approved, that aid will be added to the $1.1 billion arms sale package to Taiwan, approved in September.

Tensions between Beijing and Washington over Taiwan intensified after the visit to Taipei by the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, last August.

In response, China launched a series of "unprecedented" large-scale military exercises and training activities, including live-fire drills, in sea and air space in six zones around the island.

Still, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently indicated that he does not expect an imminent Chinese invasion of Taiwan. However, he considered that Beijing is trying to establish a "new normal" through its military activities around the island.

Taiwan has been self-governing with its own administration since 1949. Since then, it has kept the flag and some other symbols of the former ROC, which existed on the mainland before the communists came to power. Beijing regards Taiwan as an inalienable part of its territory. Most countries in the world, including Russia, recognize the island as an integral part of the People's Republic of China.
#NorthKorea shares details of latest missile test

Pyongyang claims that the two cruise missiles that it launched on Wednesday hit their target 2,000 kilometers away.

North Korea has claimed another victory in proving its nuclear warfare capability, saying that two cruise missiles that it launched on Wednesday successfully reached their target 2,000 kilometers away.

The two missiles flew above the Yellow Sea, between the Korean Peninsula and China, and were in the air for nearly three hours before they “clearly hit” their unidentified target, according to a report by Pyongyang’s state-run KCNA media outlet. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the launches and expressed “great satisfaction” with the test results.
Kim “highly appreciated the high reaction capabilities of our nuclear combat forces, which proved again their full preparedness for actual war to bring the enemies under their control at a blow through the unconditional, mobile, precise and powerful counterstrike by any weapon system,” KCNA said. He called the launches a “clear warning” to North Korea’s enemies and a verification of the “absolute reliability and combat capacity of our state’s war deterrent.”

At a range of 2,000 kilometers, the cruise missiles fired on Wednesday could travel nearly four times the distance from Pyongyang to Busan, the major city at South Korea’s southeastern tip. The missiles also can reach well beyond any target in Japan. Just last week, North Korea conducted its longest-range missile test on record, firing the projectile over Japan on a 4,600-kilometer flight. The country’s Hwasong-17 ballistic missile reportedly has a range of at least 15,000 kilometers, easily within reach of US targets.

Kim said he aims to continue expanding the “operational sphere” of North Korea’s nuclear forces to “resolutely deter any crucial military crisis and war crisis at any time and completely take the initiative in it.”

Wednesday’s launches marked the latest in a series of tests of Pyongyang’s strategic weaponry that began on September 25. Kim said the tests were done to ensure the readiness of North Korea’s nuclear forces to “wipe out” potential aggressors. One of those exercises simulated the loading of tactical warheads into a missile silo hidden beneath a reservoir.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol warned on Monday that the region faces a “grave security reality” amid Pyongyang’s nuclear saber-rattling.

North Korea rejected a proposal by Yoon in August to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for economic aid from Seoul. On Monday, Kim ruled out peace talks with South Korea or the US, saying his enemies “have still been talking about dialogue and negotiations while posing military threats to us.”

💬 The spokesman for the Russian gas company Gazprom, Sergei Kupriyánov, has recalled a documented incident in the past related to the Nord Stream gas pipeline. This case is well known.

During the planned visual inspection of Nord Stream on November 6, 2015, experts found a NATO SeaFox mine destroyer. The artifact lay just between two gas pipeline lines at a depth of 40 meters.

At that time, the Swedish armed forces removed the explosive device. Gas transportation resumed once the emergency was resolved.

NATO claimed that the underwater mine destroyer was allegedly lost during the exercises 🤷

#Iran, #Russia and #China to hold joint naval exercises

A Persian military high command reports that Iran will hold joint naval exercises with China, Russia and other countries in the Indian Ocean in the near future.

"In order to create stable security and enhance combat power, a joint naval exercise with the participation of China, Russia and some other countries in the North Indian Ocean region will be held soon," it announced on Wednesday. Commander of the Iranian Army Naval Force, Iranian Rear Admiral Shahram.

According to the military command, the next naval drill will be launched within the framework of maritime diplomacy to guarantee security in the area.

#SouthKorea has lost track of one of four missiles fired last week in a joint test with the United States in response to North Korea's launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile, raising serious questions about the missile's performance, reports Yonhap.

According to media sources, the missile lost contact, so it is unknown if it was able to hit the intended target, while other three hit designated targets.

The ballistic missile launched on October 4 by Pyongyang flew over Japan for the first time in five years and, according to Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada, would have had a record range in the history of North Korean weapons tests, after covering a distance of 4,600 kilometers.

For their part, the South Korean and US armies each fired two missiles from the ATACMS system in the direction of the Sea of ​​Japan.
#Taiwan clarifies ‘first strike’ doctrine

Taipei is prepared to go to war in response to Chinese air incursions, the island’s defense chief said

Taiwan has vowed to shoot down Chinese planes and drones that breach its airspace, saying it will consider such fly-overs as a “first strike” by Beijing and respond in force if the aircraft ignore warnings to turn back.

Speaking to lawmakers on Wednesday, Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng was asked to elaborate on the “first strike” designation, as officials previously said “countermeasures” would be taken against aircraft incursions but did not specify any particular response.

Chiu said the military would first lock onto incoming drones or planes and issue a warning, and then launch a “defensive counterattack” if the aircraft remained in the airspace claimed by Taiwan.

Pressed on whether that would mean Beijing and Taipei “going to war,” the defense chief answered “Yes, in which case the situation would be very serious,” adding “This is why the military has been exercising self-restraint and does not pull the trigger recklessly.”

Chiu first discussed the update to the island’s security policy during a legislative session last week, explaining that while a “first strike” was previously defined as artillery or missile attacks, Chinese drone flights over Taiwanese airspace have increased in frequency and caused “a lot of trouble” in recent months, prompting the change.

The announcement came amid soaring tensions between Beijing and the self-governing island, with hostilities spiking in August after a high-profile visit to Taipei by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. China responded with a series of unprecedented military exercises around Taiwan’s waters and airspace, including a rehearsal for a full “blockade,” triggering vocal condemnation from Washington.

Taiwan, which officially refers to itself as the ‘Republic of China,’ has been self-governed since 1949, though has never gained independence from the mainland and few countries recognize it as a sovereign nation. Beijing considers the island a part of its territory under the One-China policy, and while the People’s Republic has repeatedly stated its intent to peacefully reunite with Taiwan, it has not ruled out a military solution to the issue.

🇰🇷 #SouthKorea is pushing the US to exchange tactical nuclear weapons

The South Korean government has asked the United States to share tactical nuclear weapons to bolster the country's defenses against North Korea.

A South Korean government official said: “If North Korea conducts a seventh nuclear test, we will face a whole new level of threat. We are discussing with the United States ways to radically increase the extended containment of the DPRK in order to change the security situation on the Korean Peninsula.” South Korea has in mind the deployment of US strategic military facilities near the Korean Peninsula on a rotational basis - an aircraft carrier strike group or nuclear submarines.

A security official said, "A [South] Korean-style nuclear sharing scheme is being discussed that could avoid protests from neighboring countries and a regional build-up of nuclear weapons."
