@shieldaitech Keeping the F-16’s existing cockpit interface unchanged and simply adding an external UAS Mission Management Interface would probably be the easiest way to integrate F-16s with drones.
@TASA_Taiwan Taiwan could purchase complete rocket systems from the United States (Rocket Lab Electron) or Italy (Vega-C) to launch its own satellites, rather than developing everything from scratch. Building rockets entirely on its own would take too much time and money.
@ChouZhi38862@TaiwanMonitor@grok@grok Explain to those arrogant Chinese people how many Taiwanese military veterans are in the reserve forces, the differences between Taiwan and Ukraine, and the major challenges China would face if it tried to invade Taiwan.
@ChouZhi38862@TaiwanMonitor@grok@grok Tell those arrogant Chinese people why Russia still can’t defeat Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in Europe.
@TaiwanMonitor To strike CCP ports, Taiwan doesn’t even need HIMARS. Its locally developed and much cheaper Thunderbolt-2000 rocket system would be more than enough.
@myshawti Kinmen and Matsu have always been on the front line defending Taiwan against the CCP, so it’s no surprise they regularly hold live-fire drills there.
@anduriltech If Taiwan can’t get the Barracuda-500 or another suitable alternative, it’ll look to partner with other companies to manufacture them, because this weapon is very important for defending Taiwan against a PLA naval invasion.
@Geopoliticabra2 Just look at Russian warships during the war. Not only are their ports being bombed, but their ships also have to be covered with metal cages like this. Otherwise, they wouldn’t last even 10 minutes at sea before being sunk by drones.
@Geopoliticabra2 In peacetime, your ships can sail wherever they want and take whatever routes they like. No one cares. But in wartime, not a single one of those ships will be able to leave port because the ports will be bombed. Any ship out at sea will become a target for missiles and drones.

@TaiwanMilitary Taiwan’s domestically developed Thunderbolt-2000 multiple rocket launcher is relatively inexpensive and available in large numbers, so it could be deployed first to frontline outlying islands such as Kinmen and Matsu.
