海鯤號是台灣首艘原型潛艦,10月13日是第24次出海測試、第18次潛航測試。軍方原聲稱10月下旬要展開關鍵的深水潛航測試,卻因薔琵颱風襲台而延宕。颱風過境後天氣連續晴朗,仍未見海鯤號出港,最後被船迷發現已進塢調校。

〔記者洪定宏/高雄報導〕潛艦海鯤號10月13日進行海測過程,尚未完全離開高雄港,就在岸邊目擊的距離,浮航開啟主機冒出白煙,目前進塢調校。前海軍顧問郭璽昨天上午在YT頻道公開表示「海鯤號裡面出大事了」,懷疑「爆炸或起火」;對於郭璽的評論,台船早已宣告不回應。
郭璽表示,潛艦優勢為隱密,通常出港就要準備下潛,不可能出港就「冒這麼大的煙霧」,這樣會讓敵人掌握行蹤,通常是在港內開啟引擎才會冒一些煙,因此他研判海鯤號「出大事了」。
郭璽質疑,10月13日如果近距離觀看海鯤號,那是「非常大的煙霧」,質疑海鯤號艙內出問題,可能是主機或主馬達「有些東西燒了」;他仍認為不可能年底之前交艦,強調「不要急」。
不過,台灣安全發展協會理事長紀東昀昨晚在YT頻道強調,柴油引擎的潛艦,浮航開啟主機就會冒煙;若是在潛望鏡深度潛航,排煙與海水混合降溫,就看不到煙霧。核潛艦配備緊急柴油發電機,開啟也會冒煙。
紀東昀重申,海鯤號是台灣首艘原型潛艦,不可能一步到位,肯定要逐步修正,且世界各國根本沒有任何一艘船艦能在完全零狀況下交艦,尤其原型艦勢必經過反覆調校與優化,才能符合實戰需求。
據了解,10月13日是海鯤號第24次出海測試、第18次潛航測試,原本軍方聲稱10月下旬要展開關鍵的深水潛航測試,卻因薔琵颱風襲台而延宕。但颱風過境,天氣連續晴朗,仍未見海鯤號出港,最後被船迷發現根本已經不在台船91號碼頭,已進塢調校。

The latest report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) pointed out that the Pentagon is unable to fully grasp the approximately 26 million F-35 spare parts worldwide with a total value of US$31 billion. Among them, more than 1 million parts worth US$85 million have been missing for many years and have not been found. GAO said parts records are incorrect, data is incomplete, cannot be tracked in real time, and contractor systems cannot connect to government logistics systems, affecting the ability to detect fraud, waste or theft. The F-35 Joint Program Office has agreed to the improvement recommendations and will establish loss monitoring procedures and strengthen training.

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense submitted its 2027 budget to Congress on the 10th, planning to purchase parachutes and other materials for penetrating enemy rear areas for the Army Special Operations Command. The budget for aviation equipment has increased to 131.9 billion won, about 13 times this year's, to promote the recovery of wartime operational command authority.

The U.S. Air Force launched the "Bomber Crew Combat Readiness Supplementary Training" program to allow B-1B bomber pilots to practice basic flight skills on HondaJet business jets. The B-1B flight costs about US$90,000 per hour, while the HondaJet only costs US$2,000 to US$3,000, saving more than NT$2.6 million per hour. The first training flight was launched in Abilene, Texas, on November 2, and the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command officially launched the program on the 4th.

The Ministry of National Defense's budget for next year shows that the Army will invest 977.592 million yuan to implement the new urban warfare training ground and nuclear, biological and chemical training ground project from 2027 to 2030, involving the 10th Army Infantry. Seven units, including 1, 109, 153, 206, 249, 257 and 302 brigades, are located in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Chiayi and Yilan. They are expected to handle turnkey bidding, engineering design and construction.

The National Army has implemented live bridge explosion training for the fourth time this year. The 54th Engineer Group of the Eighth Army Corps of the Army is scheduled to dismantle the Qianxi Bridge in Baihetou, Tainan on the 12th. If successfully completed, the engineering units in the four combat zones will have practical experience in bridge blasting this year.
The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan and the Japan Reform Association plan to hold the first business-level consultation meeting as soon as the 10th to promote the revision of the three security documents within the year. The Japanese government is considering including in the "National Defense Strategy" the strengthening of sustained combat capabilities, including the reserve of military supplies during peacetime, a post-war production increase mechanism, and the government's capital injection into the defense industry, which has triggered concerns within the government and the outside world about Japan's military expansion.
