Once a month, under a highway overpass near military headquarters in Taipei, a small group of Taiwan army veterans band together in a coordinated act of defiance.

Drawing lessons from the Ukraine war, Taiwan’s Thunder Tiger showed off its FPV kamikaze drone. In a demo at Chiayi’s UAV R&D center, the drone shows how it could zero in and obliterate a target in a combat scenario.

During the flight, President Lai shared with reporters flying with him that he’s deeply moved by the sight of F-16s soaring against a backdrop of a sunset and clouds. “This trip is going to be action-packed…it’s a big task that comes with a lot of responsibilities.”

Earlier in the day, Taiwan’s Air Force sent four U.S. made F-16V fighter jets to escort Lai’s plane making its way to Hawaii. (This view looks close enough to be straight from the Taiwanese president’s seat.)
