In a bid to bolster its maritime security capabilities, Taiwan is set to deploy two state-of-the-art submarines by the year 2027, according to the country’s security adviser.

This development comes amid rising tensions in the region and Taiwan’s ongoing efforts to modernize its defense forces.

The new submarines are expected to significantly enhance Taiwan’s naval prowess, offering advanced technology and stealth capabilities.

The move is seen as a strategic response to growing concerns about China’s increasing military presence in the South China Sea and its assertive territorial claims in the Taiwan Strait.

The submarines are being developed in collaboration with international partners and are part of Taiwan’s broader defence modernisation program.

The acquisition of these submarines underscores Taiwan’s commitment to maintaining a strong defense posture and ensuring its sovereignty.
