Vice Minister Hsu Attends MQ-9B Delivery Ceremony

2026-03-22 00:00

On May 22, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced that Hsu, Szu-chien, Vice Minister for Policy, had attended the delivery ceremony of the first two MQ-9B HALE UAVs to ROCAF on March 17 (Pacific Time). He was accompanied by Alexander Yui, Ambassador of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States.

The MND’s procurement of four MQ-9B HALE UAVs stemmed from growing hostile threats and national defense concerns. In response, the United States plans to deliver two UAVs in 2026 and two in 2027 to enhance operational effectiveness.

Both Vice Minister Hsu and Ambassador Yui personally tried the UAV flight simulator, experiencing its advanced reconnaissance capabilities firsthand. They then proceeded to the runway to personally welcome the UAV upon its landing and took a commemorative photograph together.

The MND thanked the U.S. Government, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, and many others for their support in the procurement. The MND will continue to work closely with the United States to facilitate future production through security cooperation mechanisms, thereby strengthening national defense.

Vice Minister Hsu Visits F-16 Block 70 Production Line and Witnesses First Aircraft Acceptance Check Flight at Lockheed Martin

2026-03-21 00:00

On May 21, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced that Hsu, Szu-chien, Vice Minister for Policy, was accompanied by Alexander Yui, Ambassador of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO); Major General Tian, Zhong-Yi, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff; and Rear Admiral Wei, Chung-Hsing, Defense Attache of the TECRO Defense Mission, on a visit to the F-16 Block 70 production line in South Carolina, United States, on March 16 (Eastern Time). During the visit, the delegation witnessed the first Lockheed Martin aircraft complete its acceptance check flight.

In addition to taking a photograph with the assembled aircraft, the delegation also inspected the production status of the aircraft ordered for ROCAF. Lockheed Martin noted that it had already assigned hundreds of personnel to the production line. With the production line fully staffed and equipped, two shifts worked tirelessly to ensure that production would be completed on schedule. As the F-16 Block 70 is specifically designed for Taiwan, the compatibility of its systems, wiring, and software must be continuously tested and adjusted, with any necessary modifications also made to the production line. Such procedures are absolutely necessary to ensure the quality of the assembled aircraft and the safety of the pilots.

Assembled aircraft that have completed Lockheed Martin’s acceptance check flights will undergo a final acceptance check flight by the U.S. Government before being delivered to Taiwan later in 2026.

The MND noted that the delivery of the aircraft will be accelerated through R.O.C.–U.S. security cooperation mechanisms.
