〔記者涂鉅旻/綜合報導〕以生產輪型甲車聞名的芬蘭國防企業派翠亞(Patria),如今積極拓展履帶式裝甲車市場。外國軍聞網站《MilitaryLeak》報導,派翠亞研製的TRACKX履帶式裝甲車,已獲得芬蘭、瑞典第一批採購訂單,預計明年起陸續交付,兩國將實地驗證這款新型裝甲車在雪地、沼澤等極端環境下的機動能力,並為後續量產及多國聯合採購鋪路。
《MilitaryLeak》報導陳述,芬蘭此次採購TRACKX裝甲車,包含相關後勤支援服務,並與派翠亞簽署未來批量交付意向書;瑞典則率先採購5輛,供測試與性能評估使用。兩國預計2027年接收首批車輛後,分別展開野外測試,部分科目也將共同實施,以確認車輛是否符合實際作戰需求。
TRACKX是派翠亞參與歐洲防衛基金(EDF)資助的「FAMOUS」多國合作計畫所研製,主打結合輪型車輛的道路機動優勢,以及履帶式車輛的越野性能,具備彈道防護能力,可在深厚積雪、鬆軟沼澤及沙漠沙丘等地形行駛,特別符合北歐國家對寒帶作戰裝備的需求。

派翠亞防護機動事業部執行副總裁耶爾維寧(Jussi Järvinen)表示,TRACKX從研發進入採購階段,是重要里程碑,公司正強化生產與交付能力,目標自2027年起向更多國家供貨。
值得注意的是,芬蘭、瑞典今年6月已簽署合作協議,芬蘭、挪威及拉脫維亞7月也簽署相關意向聲明,顯示TRACKX不僅瞄準北歐市場,更有望成為歐洲多國共同採購的新一代履帶式裝甲車平台。

Schiff, chairman of the U.S. Institute for Indo-Pacific Security Studies, pointed out that although the regular patrols of Chinese coast guard ships east of Taiwan may seem harmless, they are actually an extension of sovereignty claims, legal warfare, and political warfare, which are highly destructive to regional stability. He called for this to be included in the thinking of the concept of defense and deterrence operations.

Schiff, chairman of the U.S. Institute for Indo-Pacific Security Studies, said that Taiwanese media reports that the U.S. military will withdraw from the first island chain only reflect a minority view. In fact, the United States is strengthening its deployment on the first island chain, including building an EDCA base in the Philippines, holding the largest-scale shoulder-to-shoulder exercise in history, and strengthening cooperation with Japan in the southwestern islands. He pointed out that there is a bottom line for the US military to mobilize assets from the Indo-Pacific, that is, it will not affect the execution of existing combat plans, but certain ammunition is indeed in short supply and needs to be restocked. At the same time, he warned Beijing not to misjudge the situation in the Taiwan Strait and emphasized that the United States still has sufficient resources to respond.

Sinikhupov, governor of the Kharkiv region in northeastern Ukraine, said that Russia launched a drone attack on a village park in the state today, killing six people, including three children, and injuring more than 10 people. Interior Minister Vykhovski confirmed that the drone struck the park where multiple families were playing with their children and released blurred photos showing the remains of children in strollers.

Taiwanese military sources pointed out that the US-made M1A2T Abram tank will participate in large-scale military exercises for the second time in the Lian Yong military exercise starting next month. This type of tank has previously participated in the Hankuang exercise in August. The tanks are currently operated by the 584th Armored Brigade and will go to the Pingtung County Joint Operations Training Base for a month-long southern joint military exercise to test combat coordination. Participants will include volunteer soldiers and compulsory soldiers who will participate for the first time this year. Taiwan purchased 108 tanks of this type from the United States in 2019, with a total price of approximately US$1.45 billion. Currently, 80 tanks have been delivered to the troops, and the remaining 28 are still in preparation for testing.

General Clark, commander of the U.S. Army in the Pacific, expressed the hope that by clearly demonstrating and enhancing the U.S. military's combat capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region, it can strengthen its deterrent capabilities and reduce the probability of war. He pointed out that through temporary deployment of weapons, enhanced joint exercises with regional countries, and task force formation, the US military can play a key role in peacetime deterrence and wartime conflicts even if it is not permanently deployed, and emphasized that the US military's investment in the Pacific region is unprecedented.

A second suspected Chinese drone mothership has been spotted in Guangzhou. The 150-metre vessel features stern structures similar to a larger ship launched in Shanghai, suggesting a potential expansion of PLA Navy undersea drone deployment capabilities.
