Taiwan has recently inaugurated its most advanced multilayer air defense system T-Dome. This system is being considered a major part of the country’s security strategy. President Lai Ching-te said that this system has been prepared to protect against possible missile and air attacks from China.
According to Taipei, T-Dome will be one of the most modern defense systems in the world, capable of intercepting not only ballistic and cruise missiles but can also target fighter aircraft with stealth technology. This step has come at a time when China is increasing its military exercises around Taiwan.
The most special part of the T-Dome system is its sensor-to-shooter system. If understood in simple words, it means that as soon as any enemy missile or aircraft enters Taiwan’s territory, this system will immediately identify it and send instructions to the attacking weapons within a few seconds. That means the time between the sensor and the missile system will be greatly reduced.
Opportunity to retaliate against enemy positions
With this system, Taiwan’s army will get an opportunity to immediately retaliate against enemy targets. This technology is available only in a few countries of the world and now Taiwan has also joined this list. Defense Minister Wellington Koo said that this system will work by connecting all the existing defense systems together, which will increase the chances of success and resources can be used in a better way.

This new step of Taiwan is believed to have an impact on China’s security strategy. China has consistently claimed that Taiwan is its part and that it will not accept it as a separate country under any circumstances. In such a situation, modern weapons like T-Dome will strengthen Taiwan’s self-defense and increase the cost of any military action for China.
Taiwan’s defense budget and modern technology
The Defense Minister told in Parliament that a special budget is being prepared for the T-Dome project, which will be released at the end of the year. This budget will be used to increase the firepower of the system and connect it with other defense systems. Taiwan already has American Patriot missiles, indigenously made Sky Bow missiles and Stinger missiles. Apart from this, Taiwan is also developing a new missile called Chiang-Kang, which will be able to target missiles flying at high altitude. Taiwan hopes that it can also get THAAD system from America, but its price is very high.
Is T-Dome a real threat to China?
This question is now being raised everywhere whether this system can really prove to be a threat to China. Defense experts say that the biggest strength of T-Dome is its multilayer security. This means that even if a missile survives the first layer, the next layer will target it. In this way, this system makes Taiwan’s defense even stronger.
Also, it is difficult for any country to capture stealth aircraft like China’s J-20 fighter jet, but Taiwan claims that such sensors have been installed in the T-Dome, which can track these aircraft as well. If this proves to be true, then Taiwan can challenge China’s air superiority.
