Taiwan to receive 7 Volcano mine-laying systems by end of 2023:
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan is set to receive seven sets of the M136 Volcano mine-laying systems by the end of the year.

In June, Taiwan finalized a deal with the U.S. to purchase 14 of the systems for NT$4.54 billion (US$146 million). The remaining seven sets will be delivered by 2029, Liberty Times reported.

The arms package includes mine-laying systems, M977A4 HEMMT trucks, M87A1 anti-tank mines, as well as M88 and M89 training munitions. Upon completion of delivery, the systems will be handed over to military units stationed in northern, central, and southern Taiwan.

The Taiwan Army said the mine-laying vehicles can be deployed around airports and parachute landing sites during wartime to maintain control over them. The systems can also lay mines in areas where the enemy have not yet taken full control, it added.

US lawmaker vows 'resolute reaction' if Taiwan is attacked:
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The U.S. will respond decisively if Taiwan is attacked, Vice Chair of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee Rob Wittman said during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Friday (Sept. 1).

“Any hostile, unprovoked attack on Taiwan will result in a resolute reaction from the United States,” Wittman said. He also pledged that Congress is actively working to fulfill the NT$605.7 billion (US$19 billion) backlog in arms sales to Taiwan.

Wittman, who is leading a delegation to Taiwan as part of a broader visit to the Indo-Pacific region, recognized Taiwan’s “incredible effort” in bolstering its defense. He cited the extension of conscription to one year as an example.

The congressional representative said Taiwan-U.S. ties are “built upon shared values." Bilateral relations are based on “trust, understanding, and a mutual benefit to both nations,” he said, adding that he hopes to see more U.S. companies invest in Taiwan and vice versa.

Drone volunteer army suggested for Taiwan:
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — With 20,000 people licensed to operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Taiwan should establish a drone volunteer army, a leading defense contractor said Saturday (Sept. 2).

In times of war, the volunteers could be mobilized just like volunteer firefighters, forming a key backup for the armed forces, said Luo Cheng-fang (羅正方), chair of GEOSAT Aerospace and Technology Inc. The businessperson is known for being the team leader of Taiwan’s national drone sector, Radio Taiwan International (RTI) reported.

Speaking at a seminar hosted by the Taiwan Association of University Professors (TAUP), Luo compared the effectiveness of drones with F-16V fighter jets procured from the United States.

China has launched drills in the western Pacific involving its Shandong aircraft carrier and dozens of warplanes, according to Taiwan’s defence ministry, in exercises analysts described as Beijing’s “largest” such manoeuvres in the region.
The report came on Wednesday as Beijing, which views self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory, steps up military and political pressure on the democratically-governed island in a bid to assert its sovereignty claims.
