Taiwan has made a bold and unprecedented move by partnering with cutting-edge U.S. defense company Kratos to develop advanced jet-powered Kamikaze suicide drones. This collaboration goes beyond a simple arms deal, providing Taiwan with a powerful new asymmetric weapon while highlighting increasingly close ties between the U.S. defense industry and Taipei.

In recent years, battlefields in regions like Ukraine have been dominated by propeller-driven loitering munitions or suicide drones. They are cheap, effective, and have reshaped modern warfare. However, their main drawback is speed. Kratos, known for high-performance jet drones such as Mako and Valkyrie, produces drones capable of near-fighter jet speed and agility. Building a Kamikaze drone on such an airframe results in a deadly weapon that is difficult to intercept and can strike targets hundreds of kilometers away in a very short time.

This represents the difference between throwing stones and sniping bullets. It is a major leap in capability, designed to provide Taiwan with a reliable “first strike” or rapid-response weapon capable of hitting high-value targets or airfields at overwhelming speed. With the ability to produce these advanced drones alongside trusted U.S. partners, Taiwan is establishing a formidable deterrent. A large number of low-cost, high-speed, jet-powered Kamikaze drones could inflict serious damage on any invading forces.

Partnering with leaders like Kratos allows Taiwan to gain invaluable experience in building top-tier unmanned systems. This collaboration also represents an investment in long-term defense capabilities, reducing the need to rely solely on purchasing off-the-shelf weapons from other countries.
