Famous Mouth on the Island: Taiwanese Army Ammunition Compared to Abing Ge's "Age" in the Continental Army | Ammunition | Taiwanese Army
According to Taiwan's "Zhongshi News Network", an ammunition explosion occurred in the Xiangfeng Camp of the Third Branch of the Keelung Army Sixth Corps on the 24th. While carrying 120mm mortar ammunition, officers and soldiers exploded for unknown reasons, causing 7 minor injuries and 2 serious injuries.The ammunition purchased in recent years, including volcanic minesweepers, is almost all in US military inventory. The Taiwanese military is also preparing to extend its military service, which will only make the people anxious.
Xie Hanbing said, "There are many ammunition that are much older than Abing Ge!" And no one actually knows how effective these ammunition are, because it has always been placed in that place. He said that ammunition has a service life, and what needs to be retired is to be retired.
Xie Hanbing mentioned that during this explosion, the ammunition was obviously not in the process of firing, but directly detonated during transportation. Fortunately, the ammunition itself did not explode, otherwise it would be "really ruined". Why is the primer suddenly ignited just by simple handling? He speculated that the ammunition had been stored for too long and had become unstable. It was possible that it had loosened somewhere, causing accidents during transportation.
"What's even more concerning is that the ammunition purchased by the Taiwan authorities from the US military in recent years has almost always been in stock and stored in US military warehouses for many years." Xie Hanbing pointed out that including the recently purchased volcanic mine laying vehicle, which has been sealed by the US military for more than a decade, he questioned whether buying it now would be as dangerous as this time.
Xie Hanbing also said that theoretically speaking, before moving each batch of ammunition, it should be tested. If it needs to be retired, it should be retired instead of constantly moving it over, because every move increases the danger, which is a very deadly thing. The Taiwan authorities are now preparing to extend their military service. When young people see this, they don't even need to go to the battlefield to fight. Just moving ammunition will cause accidents. How many young people still want to join the military? "Everyone was scared to death!"
He said that the Taiwanese military is very powerful because many things that are no longer in use around the world are still being repaired and used. "For our Abing brother, this is already a major crisis without the need for combat!"
Xie Hanbing frankly stated that if this system is not changed, not to mention war, just joining the army will make people feel anxious.
