TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Director of the U.S.-based Taiwan Security Analysis Center F.S. Mei (梅復興) suggests that Taiwan’s military currently has over 200 missile trucks.

According to public information, Mei deduced in a Facebook post that Taiwan has over 200 missile trucks comprised of domestically-made and internationally-purchased models, as well as around 1,000 missiles.

Mei’s figure is significantly larger than public disclosures by Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, who suggest Taiwan will soon reach the 200 milestone.
