The Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition entered its second day on Friday, with a special visit by President Tsai Ing-wen. At the show, Tsai learned about the latest developments in unmanned aerial vehicles made in Taiwan. Besides inspecting the latest defense technologies, she also showed off her marksmanship, shooting an XT112 assault rifle in a simulation.
President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday visited the Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition, now on its second day. Tsai listened attentively to explanations from vendors, and visited the USA pavilion. She also tried her hand at shooting an XT112 assault rifle at an Armament Bureau-developed simulation that debuted at the exhibition.
The instructor next to Tsai praised her precise shooting, drawing a smile from the president.
At the event, the exhibits by the Ministry of National Defense were especially popular, with a showcase of weapons developed by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology. There were also videos comparing the Taiwan-made Hsiung Feng II and III missiles with the U.S.-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

The video explains that the NCSIST’s Hsiung Feng II missile and the U.S.-made Harpoons are roughly similar in power, whereas the Hsiung Feng III is significantly more powerful. The exhibition also has 1:1 scale models of the Hsiung Feng II and III.
The supersonic Hsiung Feng III missile can penetrate the hull of a ship and create holes 3 to 4 meters wide. Another highlight at the exhibition were unmanned aerial vehicles.
An animation shows a swarm of UAVs loaded with cruise missiles on their way to enemy targets. Also at the exhibition were four models of the Chien Hsiang drone series showcasing the anti-radiation and decoy versions of the UAVs.

We’re the second country in the world to develop this kind of weapon, only after Israel. I am proud to say that this UAV model is almost 100% made in Taiwan. It’s made domestically.
The exhibition has attracted military enthusiasts and members of the public wanting to learn more about the latest developments in Taiwan’s defenses.

航太國防工業展 蔡英文肯定台灣國防自主實力
2023-09-15
總統蔡英文今天（15）在總統府秘書長林佳龍、國安會秘書長顧立雄和國防部長邱國正陪同下，參觀「2023年台北國際航太暨國防工業展」，了解國防科技和國造無人機產業的最新發展成果，過程頻頻點頭、比讚，隨後在臉書發文，肯定台灣在航太及國防產業的成果，展現「國防自主」的實力。
國際航太展第二天，總統蔡英文前來參觀，過程專注聽講頻頻點頭，豎起大拇指，還特別駐足美國館，也體驗由軍備局研發、首度亮相的XT112戰鬥步槍模擬射擊。
一旁指導軍官稱讚「非常準」，讓蔡總統笑開懷。
展場中，國防部展區是矚目焦點，裏頭展示多項中科院研發的軍備武器，透過影片，比較國造雄二、雄三飛彈與美製魚叉反艦飛彈的威力。

“影片中呈現我國中科院自製雄二飛彈，跟美製魚叉飛彈其實威力差不多，可是跟國造雄三飛彈相比，威力有明顯落差，雄二、雄三1:1模型，在這次航太展也都有展出”
超音速雄三飛彈，貫穿船體形成3至4公尺破洞，更顯驚人威力。此外，無人機也是參展亮點之一。
模擬大批無人機搭配巡飛彈，形成「蜂群」，攻擊敵艦的動畫。現場也展出「反輻射」、「誘敵型」等四款「劍翔」系列無人機。

“目前這款武器大概全世界，我們是屬於第二開發出來國家，繼以色列以後，我可以很驕傲地說這款無人機，它的自製率幾乎達百分之百，我們國內自製”
透過展覽，除了軍事迷朝聖，也讓更多民眾了解我國防軍備發展。
