Zhang Junjie smuggled out of the country Su Ziyun lamented that the maritime patrol budget only accounts for 0.07% of GDP: National security is most important to rely on oneself

Zhang Junjie, the former director of the office of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei, was involved in a communist espionage case and smuggled out of the country. Su Ziyun, a researcher at the National Defense Academy, used this as an example to call on Taiwan to increase its maritime patrol budget and independent defense capabilities, and not to rely too much on U.S. support.

Only two mysterious US military reconnaissance aircraft in the world are heading to Europe. Foreign media revealed that they may be preparing to use force against Iraq.

The U.S. Air Force's RC-135U "Combat Sentinel" electronic reconnaissance aircraft, which has only two in the world, took off from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, the United States, and landed at Royal Air Force Base in Maddenhow, England on the 4th after transiting in New Hampshire. The aircraft specializes in accurately mapping enemy air defense radar systems. It is widely interpreted by the outside world as an intelligence preparation step for the US military to possibly expand military operations against Iran amid tensions between the United States and Iran. Military experts point out that the data collected can be used to develop anti-radiation missiles and electronic warfare sequences, but open source intelligence analysis believes that this may just be a routine annual baseline sampling mission, and there is no guarantee that it will be transferred to the Middle East in the future.

The bidding for "new heavy-duty trucks" is expected to be opened in December. The national army has been fighting for a long time and prefers the import of complete new vehicles.

The Ministry of National Defense will promote the replacement of old vehicles with new ones starting next year, with a budget of nearly 200 billion. Among them, the bidding for "new heavy-duty trucks" will be opened next month. Zhimao Automobile announced the introduction of Germany's Rheinmetall Mann Military Vehicles (RMMV) TGM-MIL 4x4 military truck to participate in the bidding, becoming the first manufacturer willing to provide a solution. The entire vehicle is imported. Only the modular body is supplied by the Spanish company ELS and assembled in Taiwan. It is interoperable with logistics parts of the US military's general tactical truck. Rheinmetall has no investment in China, which complies with the policy of removing red goods from the supply chain.

Will the U.S. change its arms sales to Taiwan? Gu Lixiong: The United States supports Taiwan’s defense across party lines

After the U.S. Democratic Party regained a majority of seats in both houses of Congress in the midterm elections, the Trump administration's pending approval of a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan has attracted much attention. Defense Minister Ku Li-hsiung stated at the Legislative Yuan Finance Committee on the 5th that the U.S. Congress supports cross-party support for strengthening Taiwan's defense capabilities. The Department of Defense will continue to communicate with U.S. members of Congress and maintain close contact with the U.S. Department of War to ensure the implementation of arms sales. In addition, he responded to the sexual assault case at the National Defense Medical College, pointing out that the case has entered the judicial process and been prosecuted. The respondent has been suspended from his position as a physician. The Ministry of National Defense will further learn about the relevant procedures and handling.

The Marine Corps plans to spend 93.12 million yuan to purchase two sets of 30mm anti-drone gun turrets next year. The army plans to invest nearly 18.8 billion yuan to purchase 1,114 sets of anti-drone systems from 2027 to 2029 to strengthen the integrated defense capabilities of soft and hard kills.
