According to Kelvin Chen in Taiwan News, the Taiwanese army will conduct live-fire tests of two tank guns it purchased from the U.S. in 2020 as part of a new armored vehicle project before they are shipped to the nation in September. The new armored fighting vehicle prototype will be completed by 2023
The Taiwanese Ministry of National Defense previously stated that the National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) purchased two M68A2 tank guns from the U.S., which approved the export license in December 2020. In addition, NCSIST signed a Technical Assistance Agreement this January with the American cannon manufacturer to provide technical documents and blueprints to facilitate research and development.
