Drone footage of Taiwanese soldiers at outpost in Kinmen going viral in Chinese social media caused outrage and panic in Taiwan, resulting in a prompt response by Taiwanese government to increase military spending in 2023 by another 14%, making the military budget 2023 a recorded highest one yet.

 Taiwan proposed a record NT$586.3 billion (S$27 billion) in defence spending for next year on Thursday (Aug 25), a double-digit increase on 2022 that includes funds for new fighter jets, weeks after China staged large-scale war games around the island.

…

The Kinmen defence command said the footage was another example of China’s “cognitive warfare” against Taiwan and an attempt to “denigrate” its armed forces.

Mr Wang Ting-yu, a senior lawmaker of Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party, described the incident as “very serious” and questioned why Taiwan’s defence ministry did not respond to the incursion.

“The drone was flying on top of our soldiers on guard but there’s zero response,” he said. “If you just let them come and go freely, this was negligence of duty.”

The MND stated the armed forces have completed the construction of a remote-controlled drone defense system to counter intrusions by civilian drones. It expects to have the UAV defense system deployed in 2023, with facilities on Taiwan’s outer islands given priority.

The MND’s 2022 budget refers to the establishment of a remote-controlled drone defense system at “bases (ports) and airports.” In addition, in important areas where facilities are located, such as outer islands, outposts, mountain stations, missile positions, reconnaissance and jamming will be carried out on intruding UAVs.

The ministry said that to improve base and aviation safety and wartime defense capabilities, the anti-drone defense systems will be built at 45 facilities across Taiwan from 2022 to 2026.
