  • They also have the naval strike Missle — Harpoon anti-ship missiles also.
  • M142 HIMARS with the 300-500km ATACMS missiles that can strike ships or coastal batteries.
  • Spike NLOS ATGMS, SwitchBlade 300/600 and Hero-400 and other loitering munitions could also be very useful to Taiwan.
  • We should provide arms and all sorts of weapons to Taiwan in case of war. We should even be willing to give it for free under certain circumstances because as Indians (🇮🇳) We ought to protect our allies till the end, that’s how it has always been, we shouldn’t abandon anyone like what happened in Ukraine.
  • Taiwan is a very wealthy country. Just about ALL of the world’s computer chips are made in Taiwan. They’ve got PLENTY of money to buy all of the weapons they feel they need from the U.S…Why would we just give them weapons? Every smart TV, phone car, etc., has a Taiwan-made chip in it, not to mention the chips that are the brains of all of our most advanced weapons.
  • Taiwan has the market for high-end semiconductors, not ALL computer chips. It will take China about 10 years to be self-sufficient and reach Taiwan`s status in semiconductors manufacturing. They are pouring tens of billions into semiconductors technology.
