The Defense Ministry said the M1A2 tanks – the first batch of 108 ordered in 2019 – arrived in Taiwan and were transferred to an army training base in Hsinchu, south of the capital, Taipei.
The semi-official Central News Agency reported that the M1A2 tanks were the first new tanks delivered to Taiwan in 30 years.
Taiwan’s current tank force consists of about 1,000 Taiwanese CM 11 Brave Tiger tanks and American-made M60A3 tanks, which are old technology.
The government had allocated the equivalent of more than $1.2 billion for Type 108 Abrams tanks.
