>Second incident during 'Han Kuang-41' exercises: 'Patriot' gets into trouble
>On July 11, in Xindian District, New Taipei City, one of the three launchers of the Patriot surface-to-air missile system hit the awning of a street food stall while turning in a narrow city passage. The driver miscalculated the turning angle, resulting in the launcher's body getting partially stuck in the awning structure. An attempt at further maneuvering could have damaged both the launcher and civilian property, so it was decided to stop the equipment.
>The military cordoned off the scene. Local police were called to control traffic. A commission arrived at the scene, including US representatives, to assess the situation.
>As a result, the SAM system was stationary for about 2.5 hours. In wartime, this is a screw-up.
