- Taiwan slowed its internet for an annual war drill, and locals reportedly aren't worried about the disruption.
- Taiwan's military ran a simulated "decapitation strike" with its leader boarding an armored vehicle to escape, and scrambled French-made jets in rapid turnaround drills.
Why it matters: Taiwan's annual war drills pair civilian internet throttling with simulated leadership-targeted strikes, testing both cyber resilience and continuity-of-government in one exercise. French-made jets scrambled in rapid turnaround drills add an air-defense layer, meaning the drills span cyber, leadership protection, and air operations simultaneously.
