Well I'm certainly glad the MND bases its scenarios in reality.

The army has solved its problems in acquiring technology for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, reports said Sunday.

The news is expected to lead the Legislative Yuan to release a budget of NT$142.3 million, allowing the project to be completed in 2011.

The budge freeze was caused by a military admission that its Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology was finding it difficult to purchase six types of technology vital to the development of the remotely piloted aircraft. As a result, it had been unable to use up the 2008 budget allotted for the project.

In late April, the Institute said it had won agreements for the supply of five types of technology and had succeeded in developing the fifth category by itself, according to a report from Army headquarters to the Legislature’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Ok It's time to open a new thread for the subject as the previous one had to be closed as you guys couldn't play nice...

Although our basic rules should prevent any of the past misconducts taking place, somehow even the members whom normally doesn't behave nastily, are loosing their grips over this matter. I know Taiwan is a controversial subject and raises strong feelings to direction or another but the forums policy doesn't give you guys room for those areas in which those strong emotions usually pops out.

So in order to get this thread moving smoothly, here are some more specific rules and things to be remembered.

Thread etiquette
(Drafted by Fumanchu from our request)

Please note that this thread is reserved for discussion of Taiwanese military news, developments, etc. The following is a list of topics and comments that expressly forbidden:

- Discussion of the China-Taiwan relationship.
- Why does Taiwan need an army/Why does Taiwan need to buy weapons?
- Taiwan should unite with China/declare independence.
- China/Taiwan cannot win the war.

Do not try to dodge around this list - it is not exhaustive. Please remember to adhere to the general forum rules too.

It is best to avoid all diplomatic, economic and political discussion. Focus on news about the change in the Taiwanese armed forces.

These code of conducts are being executed even more vigilance manners than in other threads so be aware of breaking them. Any moderation will automatically mean official warning to the one who forces us to intervene with his/her posts, regardless of the scale or the persons previous reputation.

So despite this harsh opening, I welcome you all to come here and discuss about the military issues of Taiwan.
