The United States provided Taiwan with a military assistance of US $ 345 million (about S $ 460 million) to Taiwan, and also established a joint training team in Taiwan to comprehensively integrate Taiwan's three troops to purchase new weapons to the United States.
According to the United Daily News Sunday (August 13), the United States' military aid project for Taiwan is mainly four MQ-9A drones, javelin anti-armored missiles, human carrying needle missile training instruments,Several investigation and monitoring systems, combat protection equipment, infantry weapons, small -caliber ammunition, personnel protective equipment, etc.
At the same time, in response to the projects that purchased weapons in the United States in response to the military aid and Taiwan, the U.S. military has officially established a "Joint Training Team" in Taiwan and included in the U.S. India -Pacific Command Industry Management RightsThe purpose is to strengthen the joint combat capabilities of the three armies of Taiwan.
It is reported that the projects promoted by the original military of the Taiwan Army, including "Lu Wei", "Blue Sky", "Bihai", "Xianwei" and other promoted Taiwan -US military training cooperation, Will be fully included in the conductor of the joint training team, which also includes the US Army Safety Cooperation Travel (SFAB) training and annual troops to the United States Association for training in the original "Luwei Project".
Mei Fuxing, director of the Taiwan Strait Safety Research Center, has commented that the "Joint Training Group" function established by the U.S. forces in Taiwan is like the "U.S. Advisor Group" in the US -Association's Taiwan era.However, the Taiwan military said that in addition to the training consultant of the "U.S. Advisory Group" of that year, there was also the business of substantive military aid in Taiwan. The joint training team this time only trained business.
It is reported that there are nearly 200 people in the joint training team, and this is also one of the reasons why the Taipei Office in the United States hopes to expand the building in the Taiwan Association in Taiwan.
The Taiwan Ministry of National Defense responded to this that the content of the assistance involved the tacit understanding of Taiwan and the United States, and the Ministry of National Defense did not comment; while the Taiwan Army and the Friendship Alliance countries maintained normal training and exchanges to learn from practical experience and enhance the overall combat power.There are no major changes in related practices.
On the other hand, the Department of Defense of the Taiwan National Defense also publicly stated that the military aid project provided by the United States this time has not overlapped with US military purchase projects in Taiwan.However, Lianhe Pao analysis believes that the four MQ-9A drones in the United States have obviously repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly reelected.
It is reported that in the past, Taiwan had purchased four MQ-9B maritime guard drones from the US military. In response to this purchase, the Taiwan Air Force has integrated the flying officer transferred from the flight line, and Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng ZengThrough the junior class and senior classes, the officers of the senior classes went to the United States to receive training training, and the personnel unit was also setting up a large -scale drone flight supply.
However, the report also pointed out that the MQ-9A assisted by the US military is purely a search-type drone, while the MQ-9B purchased by Taiwan has a bomb attack performance.
It is reported that in the future, large-scale drones purchased from the United States will be compiled in the twelfth investigation team of the Air Force to replace the active RF-5E tiger-eyed investigators.The MQ-9B drone, which was originally scheduled to be delivered in 2025, was previously delayed to 2027 delivery. Therefore, the MQ-9A drone, which is expected to aid in the United States, should be able to serve in Taiwan first.
The United States announced on July 28 that it will provide Taiwan with a value of US $ 345 million worth of military assistance. This is the first time that the Bayeng government has provided military aid to Taiwan with existing inventory extraction methods from the United States.The White House statement says that the military aid provided to Taiwan will include defense materials and services, as well as military training and education, which can help Taiwan self -defense.
