Chihhang Air Base, also known as Taitung Air Force Base, is a military airport operated by the Republic of China Air Force in Taitung County, Taiwan. It is best known for its extensive underground hangars.
In 2018 the Air Force issued a solicitation for an automated CIWS system to add an additional layer of protection to Chihhang Air Base.
It has been named as the likely home for two squadrons of F-16Vs Taiwan will acquire from the US starting in 2023. The location was recommended by the Institute for National Defense and Security Research.
The Shihzishan (ç³åÂÂå±±) or âÂÂStone Mountainâ complex is an underground hangar and support complex located at the north end of the air base. Its tunnels can shelter up to eighty aircraft.
