On June 22, 2024, the US announced the sale of two types of loitering munitions to Taiwan, with deliveries expected by 2025, aiming to enhance the country's military capabilities. This move may impact the survival space of similar products developed by Taiwan's National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology. The US sale includes loitering munitions like AeroVironment's Switchblade 300 and Anduril's Altius 600M-V unmanned aerial vehicles, totaling approximately $360 million. While this procurement will boost Taiwan's defense, it highlights the intensifying competition in the suicide drone market driven by recent US arms sales to Taiwan.
