Date: 10:50, December 21, 2024

    On December 21, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) stated that the US government had notified Congress on December 20 (EST) about the arms sale of MK 75 76mm gun parts to Taiwan, amounting to US$30 million with operational costs. The arms sale is expected to enter effect after a month.

    The MND has noted that the US continues to provide defensive weapons to Taiwan based on the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances. The US sale of MK 75 76 mm guns includes transport containers and maintenance and logistical support, thereby assisting the ROC military in countering the PLA military threat. The strengthening of defensive resilience will also reinforce the ROC military’s ability to combat the PLA’s grey zone capabilities.
