Posted on 2026-05-08 17:07:13
The opposition KMT and TPP have passed their version of a special defense budget with a budget ceiling of 780 billion NT.
It includes the funds for the first round of arms purchases from the US at 300 billion NT...
while the rest is set aside for a future purchase.
Included in those purchases are M109 Howitzers, HIMARS systems, anti-tank drone missile systems, anti-drone systems, and more.
The KMT caucus announced the joint proposal this morning, which represents a departure from both the KMT's "380 billion N" NT proposal and the TPP's 400 billion NT proposal.
