Taiwan delivers 1,520 FPV attack drones for U.S. Drone Dominance Program to reduce reliance on China

The US Department of Defense accepted 1,520 first-person-view attack drones supplied by Taiwan's Thunder Tiger and its partners for the Drone Dominance programme, with the order valued at approximately $7.6 million. The equipment was supplied through a team that included Farage Precision and Rehfeldt Group, supporting an effort to obtain relatively inexpensive expendable drones from non-Chinese supply chains. The programme seeks rapid delivery of tactical systems built around compliant components and interoperable control software. Although Thunder Tiger markets an Overkill family of drones, public contract records do not conclusively identify the precise configuration of every aircraft in this delivery.
