Summary

Taiwan has received its first batch of 38 U.S.-made M1A2 Abrams tanks, part of a 108-tank order placed in 2019, marking its first new tank delivery in 30 years.

The tanks will bolster Taiwan’s aging military arsenal as it faces growing military threats from China, which has escalated pressure with frequent drills and naval deployments.

The delivery is part of a larger order with the rest expected in 2025 and 2026.

Taiwan faces the constant threat of invasion by China, which has increased military pressure on the island in recent years.
