Taiwan Wanting U.S.-Made Suicide Drones and Fulbright Fellows Teaching in Taiwan and South Korea

Fulbright Fellowships - Kina - PLA - Taiwan - USA - USS Halsey

Taiwan is on the lookout for U.S.-made loitering munitions while Fulbright Fellows prepare to teach in Taiwan and South Korea. Exciting times ahead!

Taiwan har øjnene rettet mod at købe selvmorddroner fra USA, også kendt som loitering munitions, for at afskrække kinesisk aggression på slagmarken. Samtidig har Jackie Hardwick '24 og Yumi Kang '24 kvalificeret sig til de prestigefyldte Fulbright-stipendier og vil undervise i engelsk i udlandet. Det er spændende tider for både militær- og uddannelsessektoren!

I en tid, hvor sikkerhed er afgørende, er Taiwan på jagt efter de nyeste teknologiske våben for at sikre sit territorium mod potentielle trusler. Samtidig skaber Fulbright Fellow-programmet muligheder for kulturel udveksling og gensidig forståelse gennem undervisning i engelsk i Taiwan og Sydkorea. Det er en unik mulighed for de unge undervisere og for de studerende, der vil blive beriget med forskellige kulturer og perspektiver.

Selvmorddroner har revolutioneret moderne krigsførelse med deres evne til at være både drone og våben. Disse avancerede våbensystemer ændrer landskabet for krigsførsel, mens Fulbright Fellow-stipendierne giver de dygtige undervisere mulighed for at præge og inspirere elever fra forskellige kulturer. En spændende tid for teknologi og vidensdeling!
