Zitat:Taiwan’s New Naval Drones Could Strike Any Chinese Invasion [...]

Facing the threat of invasion, Taiwan is increasing the pace of its defensive build-up. One very visible aspect is the development of armed uncrewed surface drones (USVs). These are heavily influenced by the lessons of the Russo-Ukraine War in the Black Sea. Ukraine has achieved unprecedented success, denying the larger Russian fleet Sea Control in the Black Sea. Taiwan has clearly been taking notes.

Few individual weapons are war winning, and the threat from mainland China (PRC) is nuanced, but these could make a difference. They might disrupt and weaken an initial invasion wave, and impose a high cost on resupplying any beachhead. The now famous invasion barges, first reported by Naval News, would be high on the target list. And used creatively, they could shape PRC ship movements and expose them to other defences such as long range missiles. [...]

It is now almost 3 years since Ukraine’s USVs first burst onto the scene with a bold raid on Sevastopol. Taiwan showed the first hints of following Ukraine’s lead less than a year later when, in August 2023, the Sea Shark 400 surface drone was unveiled. [...] The vessel which closest matches the Ukrainian designs is the Kuaiqi. Developed from the ‘Black Tide’ demonstrator seen in the June event, it features a low profile hull. Two Cox diesel outboards provide the power giving a reported performance of 43 knots. It has been seen with Kymeta satellite communications and a range of weapons including an explosive ‘ram charge’ in the bow, a hangar for quadrotor drones, and six launch tubes for loitering munitions. The latter are likely the indigenous Jing Feng type, an analogue of the American Switchblade design. A more futuristic design is the Endeavour Manta. A trimaran with faceted stealthy fiber-reinforced plastic hull, it is 8.6 meters (28 feet) long and 3.7 meters (12 feet) across.

Zitat:Taiwan Plans 9 More NASAMS Batteries as Part of New Air Defense Shield Against China

Taiwan is weighing the purchase of nine more U.S.-made NASAMS systems, which would bring the total to twelve. The plan was discussed during the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition, held from September 18 to 20, where officials described it as part of a wider effort to create what they called an “air defense wall” against Chinese threats. The Ministry of National Defense has not yet confirmed the order, but the idea fits with the island’s growing emphasis on multidomain deterrence.

Zitat:Chinas zivile Flotte: Bericht warnt vor umgebauten Fähren für Taiwan-Invasion

Einem Artikel der Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) vom 28. August zufolge warnt ein eingestufter Bericht des US-Militärgeheimdienstes Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) vor Chinas wachsenden Fähigkeiten, kommerzielle Fähren für amphibische Invasion Taiwans zu nutzen. [...]

Die Schiffe seien demnach in der Lage, schwere Waffenplattformen zu transportieren und an amphibischen Operationen teilzunehmen. Allein im Jahr 2022 sollen Geheimdienste der „Five Eyes“-Staaten (USA, Großbritannien, Australien, Kanada und Neuseeland) rund 30 kommerzielle chinesische Fähren bei Militärübungen mit Truppen der chinesischen Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) beobachtet haben. Bis Ende 2026 plant China demnach den Bau von mehr als 70 weiteren dieser Schiffe.

Zitat:Taiwan’s domestic missile production has allowed it to continue expanding its defense capabilities despite US backlogs. Domestically produced missiles are faster to procure and do not require Taiwan to rely on the US FMS process, in which it must compete with other countries in desperate need of weapons. One production example is that of the Hsiung Feng missile: in 2022, the Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan (MND, 中華民國國防部) ordered 131 Hsiung Feng missiles from the NCSIST, which are on track to be completed by the end of this year. This is markedly fast in comparison to missiles bought through US FMS—where, at best, only the first batch of munitions would arrive within that timeframe.

Domestically produced missiles also tend to be far cheaper to produce than ordering American missiles through FMS. It will cost the NCSIST less than USD $1.5 billion to produce 1,000 missiles this year. Most prominently, the list will include: 70 super-sonic Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missiles; 131 Hsiung Feng II anti-ship and Hsiung Sheng cruise missiles; 96 TK III anti-air missiles; 50 Wan Chien air-to-ground cruise missiles; 150 Tien Chien II missiles; and 48 Chien Hsiang attack drones. Compare those figures to the approximately USD $4.43 billion that Taiwan spent in 2020 on missile purchases from the United States, to include: 400 Harpoon Block II surface-launched missiles, 100 Harpoon coastal defense systems, 64 ATACMS, 135 Standoff Land Attack Missiles (SLAM-ER), 4 ATM-84H SLAM-ER Telemetry missiles, and training missiles, and Patriot missile life extension services.
