Taiwan unveils a home-grown ‘kamikaze’ portable attack drone

Taiwan showcased new models of its domestically produced military drones on March 14, 2023, including a “suicide” drone that can carry an explosive warhead to attack enemy targets. Taiwan’s military says they are key to making its forces more agile if they have to face a far larger mainland Chinese military. Rising tensions with mainland China and worries that a war will break out between the two sides have lent new urgency to the Taiwanese military's efforts to develop drones.
