The military will soon deploy a drone battalion in Penghu to bolster early
warning capabilities.

That's according to a military source, who added that the move will expand
the area covered by Taiwan's early warning mechanisms and enable the military
to conduct anti-blockade operations closer to the enemy...

as well as to swiftly deploy kill chains using drone and anti-ship missiles.

The Liberty Times reported that the drone battalion will be an upgrade from
an existing squadron there.

It'll likely be launched in July.

Army Chief of Staff Chen Chun-yi (陳俊義) previously told lawmakers that the
Army will establish a drone battalion in each of Taiwan's five theaters of
operations to defend northern, central, southern and eastern Taiwan, as well
as offshore Penghu County.

Meanwhile research fellow Su Tzu-yun (蘇紫雲) described the deployment of drones
on the country's offshore islands as strategically significant...

emphasizing drone strengths, like long-range reconnaissance.
