The number of Taiwanese military volunteers who have retired early has soared. Young people would rather lose money than work for "Taiwan independence"

A report from Taiwan’s legislative body shows that the number of veterans receiving compensation for volunteer service in Taiwan’s military has increased from 40 in 2018 to 846 in 2025, an increase of more than 20 times in seven years. Reasons include frequent military exercises, equipment updates and increased load, relaxed admission standards leading to incompatibility, unreasonable treatment and poor manpower allocation, as well as the DPP authorities distorting military values ​​and coercing officers and soldiers to fight for "Taiwan independence." Taiwan's low birthrate and manpower shortage problems have intensified, and the voluntary service ratio is only 76.62%. Although the defense budget has increased, there is a lack of personnel to operate and maintain advanced weapons, forming a vicious cycle.

How to navigate at hypersonic speed without GPS? U.S. military soars past Mach 5 with new receiver tested

The U.S. Army and General Dynamics Mission Systems completed the hypersonic flight test of a new multi-orbit navigation receiver (MO-Nav) on the Raptor-A test aircraft. The receiver can receive a variety of satellites and commercial signals to provide navigation when GPS is unavailable. It will subsequently develop a MOHAWK weapon suite that supports military M codes. It plans to demonstrate the integrated M code function in 2027 and conduct follow-up demonstrations on a precision-guided munitions platform in 2028.

In response to the adjustment of garrison missions and force structure, the military police force officially added an air defense company and a drone company to the garrison area organization this year. It also plans to purchase mobile container 3D printing equipment to achieve self-production, self-control and self-maintenance of drones to reduce costs, overcome supply chain constraints and enhance combat capability maintenance. Defense Minister Gu Lixiong went to Taoyuan to inspect the Han Kuang 42 exercise and learned about the tactical use of drones and 3D printing applications. The military police will expand its overall strength from 5,600 to 11,000, develop an asymmetric combat capability that integrates reconnaissance and combat, and multi-layer defense, and prepare reconnaissance and attack drones to support urban warfare operations.
