Drawing on the situation of the Russian and Ultimate war in Taiwan, Taiwan R D d

(Taipei Composite Electric) Taiwan borrows from the experience of Ukraine in the Russia and Ultra War in the Russia and Ultimate to gain an air advantage. It is accelerating the formation of a drone national team to reduce the gap with the drone in mainland China.

According to Reuters on Friday (July 21), a few months after the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War last summer, Taiwan Tsai Ing -wen had convened senior DPP officials to discuss how Ukraine successfully responded to a strong enemy like Russia.

A official internal assessment document obtained by Reuters shows that the answer obtained by Tsai Ing -wen is that the clever application of drones has allowed Ukraine to obtain some air advantages.However, the report pointed out that in terms of drone armed forces, Taiwan seriously lags behind more powerful mainland China, so an emergency plan is needed to narrow the gap.

It is reported that there are only hundreds of drones and four models in Taiwan, while mainland China has tens of thousands of models and more than 50 models.Therefore, Taiwan has formulated a "UAV National Team" plan. The goal is to create more than 3,200 military drones by in mid -2024, including less than 2 kilograms of mini drones, and a larger no -wide range of 150 kilometers.Human reconnaissance aircraft.

In order to accelerate the goal, Taiwan has actively recruited private drone manufacturers and aviation companies to cooperate with the military. At present, nine companies have joined R & D.Reuters pointed out that this is the first time that the Taiwan government has incorporated private enterprises into the development of defense weapons.

Taiwan Leihu Technology Co., Ltd. is famous for its radio remote control models that create leisure and commercial purposes.In an interview with the company's R & D department, Yang Fusen said that his company was recruited by the Ministry of Defense last year and transformed commercial drones into military, including a driverless carrier -based or land -based monitoring helicopter with 4 meters long ones with 4 meters long ones.Rotor, 400 kilometers, can stay in the air for up to 6 hours.

Yang Fussen said: "A small drone can bomb a tank worth tens of millions of dollars." This highlights the rapid change of modern war with the rise of asymmetric weapons.Military experts in the United States and Taiwan believe that Taiwan should develop asymmetric combat power and offset large and expensive weapon systems with a large number of small, cheaper but lethal weapons.

Reports pointed out that the development of drones in Taiwan is part of the increasing military competition. This competition is split Asia and has opened a technical sprint in various countries.On the one hand, the United States and allies, on the other hand, are China, and the two sides are in a competitive leadership in the fields of artificial intelligence, independent weapons, and advanced semiconductors.

China's drones have developed rapidly, and Reuters quoted the new US Security Center senior researcher and Chinese military technical expert Elsa Kania said that the progress of the Chinese military's progress in adopting and experimenting with new drones is better than the United States.The military is faster, and various designs and possibilities are explored through business technology and enterprises.

It is reported that China's drone sales account for about 80%of the world's global, monopolizing the global commercial drone market, and the PLA can use huge industries to obtain support from technology, suppliers and ready -made models.This is the key advantage of China in this arms competition.

At the same time, although the technology industry in Taiwan can provide sensors and advanced semiconductors for drone manufacturing, it is still in difficulty in key areas such as engines, batteries and communication systems.

Although the United States, as an ally of Taiwanese allies, has the world's most advanced military drone, but such as a war on both sides of the strait, the UAV in the United States can only be sent from the conflict area because there is no US or Allied forces on the island of Taiwan.The troops are stationed.Therefore, at least in the early stages of conflict, Taiwan had to rely on itself.

The Taiwan office said in a question in Reuters that the Russian and Ukraine War gave Taiwan a great encouragement, and the importance of drones all over the world; in the future, no matter in military or folk, drones will playIn important roles, Taiwan cannot be absent in this regard.

In response to the plan to develop drones in Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mainland China responded to Reuters that Taiwan officials are destined to fail with martial arts rejection and foreigners seeking independent.The Ministry of National Defense and the Taiwan Affairs Office did not respond to reporters' questions.The US Department of Defense and the White House did not respond.
