Taiwan Let Down: Island considering options after US delays Howitzer delivery
The island's Def. Ministry is weighing up alternatives after Washington informed Taipei a "crowded production line" meant there was a delay on delivering the artillery system.
The US confirmed the sale of 40 medium self-propelled Howitzers to Taiwan last year (due in 2023), for a sum of $750MN - now it's reportedly looking like 2026 at the earliest.
Reuters says Taiwan is considering other Lockheed Martin launchers, but with America ramping up support and supply for Ukraine it's unclear what's available.
The US has consistently encouraged Taiwan to boost its defenses to thwart any aggressive moves from China, but the Biden Admin seems to have other priorities.

We can stop pretending that we will talk our way out of the catastrophe that is liberal democracy. The death of free speech means the death of democracy and the fantasies that sustain it. Authoritarian systems must be pushed into the abyss along with the authoritarians that support them. That does not happen on Twitter or at the ballot box.
