Taiwan Military Picture Thread

[Propagandalass]

Propagandalass, Thanks for posting in this long dormant thread. Post only ROC military pics here. There are other threads for the PLA.

Nice job in posting pics!

Thank you! It would be awkward if you just post here alone and if its about Taiwan I should be around for it, I hope you don't mind necroing

I think you slightly misunderstood me, the ROC emerged from the former KMT government that had control on Mainland China, I was asking if KMT forces from the Mainland that conquered Taiwan and then evolved into the ROC would count as Taiwan or Chinese military.

Also wether KMT would count as Chinese or Taiwanese military during its war against Taiwan uprisings, because regardless of KMTs positive and negative moments of History it had many developements and had a great impact on Chinese Military during WW II with weapons, equipment and strategic advice from super powers of both sides (Nazi Germany and USA) becoming the first Chinese army that relied on conventional arms (unlike the last few dynasties that mostly were mostly backwards in that aspect during colonial ages), which might have interesting things if anyone contributes.

PLA =/= KMT respectively.

Taiwanese Military staging a simulated battle. I think it was in August 2007, bad with dates here.

ROC V-150 APCs in simulated battle including coastal defense issues

Patriot batteries displayed in a ROC Military Parade.

Taiwan's army has a lot from US and Germany as it isn't cranking all to much itself in own developements. I wonder if we can evolve new types of armory if combined with new PLA equipment and knowhow.

Keep up the pictures. I might post some if I know how to post pictures and have the time.....

Ah...the good old V-150s. Reliable and fast. Saw some while taking the Taipei Metro. Perhaps they should upgrade the V-150s? Looking up the Singapore upgrades....Singapore really upgrades alot of their military equipment with huge improvements and really well too.

F-CK1 The Ching-Kuo

The Ching-Kuo is a light-weight multi-role fighter, developed by Taiwan in cooperation with major US aerospace industries. The Indigenous Defensive Fighter (IDF) was named after the late Taiwanese president Ching-Kuo.

The aircraft's primary mission is that of air defense carrying the indigenous Tien Chien (Sky Sword) I Sidewinder-equivalent and the Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Tien Chien II.

The multi-role aircraft can also be used in the ground attack role or the martitime attack role using its multi-mode Golden Dragon GD-53 radar, which is a license built version of the Westinghouse AN/APG-67(V).

For the martime attack role the aircraft can be equipped with up to three indigenous Hsing Feng II AShM. Internally the Ching-Kuo carries the M61A1 Vulcan 20mm cannon.

That is the XT97 it's said too be like the Isreali MTAR in that it uses either 5.56 Nato or 9mm Nato Rounds. Has a collapsing folding stock and 1913 Rails. that particular version is fitted with an Eotach HWS with 3X magnifier.
it's interesting that Hk also putt out a version of there Hk416 that looks very close too that in configuration this week.

quick question why would you want 9mm round with the 5.56mm, would you want something more potent and with increase KE delivery like 7.62 along with 5.56?

 

[TerraN_EmpirE]

I am not sure as too why the ROC wants it but the IDF do it for a couple reasons
First Suppressed Fire a Short barrel gives up a lot of round kenetic energy adding a suppressor more so, by using 9mm you can add the suppressor and keep a lot of the energy. some times you want a subgun not a carbine, second scale look at fn SCAR L and SCAR H in that system which uses both 5.56 and 7.62 in order too convert too 7.62 you have too change the bolt, carrier, barrel, mag well, and mag, where with a 9mm which is smaller then 5.56 you change barrel, bolt, magazine. this keeps logistics more compact and means that most of the training is the same. MTAR is just one case, the M4 also has a 9mm mod
