Taiwan plans a $40B defense upgrade with U.S. help to counter Chinese threats by 2033.
Taiwan is pursuing a $40 billion defense plan over several years to develop the T-Dome, a multi-layered air defense system designed to counter Chinese fighter jets, missiles, and drones.
Announced by President Lai Ching-te, the system integrates U.S.-built and domestic missile defenses with advanced radar and command technology to detect and intercept threats at various altitudes.
Inspired by Ukraine’s war, Taiwan aims to enhance readiness by 2027 and achieve full deterrent capability by 2033.
The project faces challenges including integration, interceptor production, training, and munitions stockpiles.
China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and opposes any moves toward independence.
The U.S. is expected to supply key components, but final approval depends on Taiwan’s opposition-controlled parliament.
