〔記者涂鉅旻/綜合報導〕南韓持續擴充海上反潛戰力。《韓聯社》報導,南韓軍方15日正式拍板新一批MH-60R「海鷹」反潛直升機採購案,將再向美國洛克希德.馬丁採購20餘架新機,計畫於2032年前完成部署,總金額達3.24兆韓元。相較之下,我國海軍過去也曾規劃採購MH-60R直升機,但因價格等因素一度喊卡,近期雖傳出相關需求重新推動,但後續仍以美方正式公告為準。
根據《韓聯社》報導,南韓防衛事業廳15日召開第178次防衛事業推進委員會,以書面方式審議通過新一批海上作戰直升機採購案,最終選定洛克希德.馬丁旗下塞考斯基研製的MH-60R「海鷹」直升機。

MH-60R直升機可執行反潛、反艦、海上監偵及搜救等任務,最大重量約10.2噸,機長16.18公尺、寬4.37公尺、高5.18公尺,最大平飛速度每小時333公里。相較南韓海軍現役「山貓」直升機,MH-60R不僅航時更長,也具備更完整的反潛與反艦作戰能力。
南韓2020年已循美國「對外軍售」(FMS)制度採購首批12架MH-60R,美國國務院今年5月再批准一筆對南韓軍售案,核准額度上限為24架MH-60R,以及相關武器、彈藥與後勤支援項目;此次南韓實際拍板的採購規模則為20架。

我國海軍同樣長期爭取MH-60R直升機,過去曾以「神鷹三號」為名建案,規劃採購12架同型機,強化艦隊反潛作戰能力,但2022年因美方報價過高而喊卡,近期傳出此案再度重新推動,但尚未見美方正式公告。

The U.S. Navy officially awarded Boeing a US$562 million contract to launch low-rate initial production of the MQ-25A "Stingray" unmanned tanker. The first three aircraft are expected to be delivered in 2029, marking the aircraft's transition from research and development to mass production. It will reduce the refueling burden of the F/A-18E/F and expand the combat radius of the aircraft.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Coast Guard conducted a comprehensive inventory of hidden spaces such as sewers and culverts in port areas across the country to prevent criminals from using the area to engage in smuggling, smuggling and other illegal activities. It listed high-risk areas as the focus of patrols and combined with the surveillance system to strengthen monitoring and reduce security blind spots.

The YFQ-44A "Fury" collaborative combat aircraft developed by the American company Anduril has begun inspections for the suitability of air-to-ground weapons, including joint direct attack munitions, small diameter bombs and low-cost cruise missiles. In the future, the mass-produced FQ-44 will increase the number of external hardpoints to four, which can have both air control and ground strike capabilities. It also plans to conduct quarterback integration with manned fighters such as the F-35 to achieve manned and unmanned coordinated operations.

India and Russia are working to transform their long-standing defence relationship from simple arms sales into a technology-driven industrial partnership, with discussions on BrahMos missile upgrades and Su-57 stealth jet technology transfer signaling a strategic shift ahead of the BRICS summit in New Delhi.

The National Army's joint precision ammunition shooting exercise will be held for three days starting today at Jiupeng Base in Pingtung. The outside world is paying attention to whether the Stegosaurus-class submarine will launch SUT heavy-duty torpedoes to sink the target ship. Historically, Taiwan Navy torpedo test launches have been rare. Chen Shui-bian launched five of them intensively during his tenure, Ma Ying-jeou launched zero torpedoes during his tenure, and Tsai Ing-wen succeeded once during her tenure. The Navy plans to implement live-fire acceptance of the US-made Mk48 Mod 6 AT torpedo in 2027 to upgrade its underwater combat capabilities.

The U.S. Air Force Special Warfare Command announced that the AGM-190A "Havoc Spear" small cruise missile has completed the 2026 spring combat evaluation and confirmed that it meets the requirements and can be used by special warfare and conventional aircraft. The missile adopts a modular design and took less than three years from design to evaluation. The evaluation was conducted by AFSOC and AFRICOM in the Africa Command area of responsibility, and the results showed that it was accurate and effective.
