Taiwan's air force demonstrated some of its most powerful anti-aircraft weaponry to the media on Thursday, in an exercise designed to show the military's preparedness for war in the face of Chinese war games.

Airmen at Taiwan's key Hualien air base operated a Swiss-made GDF-006 anti-aircraft gun and the Tien-kung III anti-craft system, a complex surface-to-air system that that can hit both aircraft and missiles, on the second day of the government organized trip.

Meanwhile, Taiwanese F-16 fighters roared into the night sky on Wednesday in a show of force in front of the media.

China, which claims Taiwan as its territory, has been carrying out military exercises around the island after a visit earlier this month by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was followed by five U.S. lawmakers on Sunday and Monday.

Pelosi's visit infuriated China, which responded with test launches of ballistic missiles over Taipei for the first time, and sending warships and fighter jets close to Taiwan, though the scale of the activities has now been greatly reduced.
