The US government announced on June 18 the notification to Congress regarding a $360.2 million arms sale of 'Attack Drones System' to Taiwan, including the Switchblade 300 personnel-killing type and Altius 600M anti-armor type. These attack drones, known as loitering munitions, have become a new tactical option in combat. Taiwan's military is implementing a strategy of simultaneous procurement and local development to expedite force modernization amid global production constraints, enhancing deterrence capabilities with a mix of precision missiles.
