Taiwan Receives First Batch of 38 US-Made M1A2T Tanks, Part of 108 Tank Deal and $1 Billion F-16 Agreement
Dec 16, 2024, 12:48 AM
Taiwan has received its first batch of 38 American-made M1A2T Abrams tanks as part of a military procurement package from the United States. The shipment arrived at the Port of Taipei on December 15, 2024, following the arrival of accessory equipment in Kaohsiung two days earlier. This acquisition is significant as it marks the first delivery of Abrams tanks to Taiwan since 1990, aimed at bolstering the island's defense capabilities amid concerns over potential aggression from China. The procurement package includes a total of 108 tanks, with this initial batch being a crucial step in modernizing Taiwan's aging military hardware.
