Taiwan's Armaments Bureau showcased its locally developed CM-34 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) at a media event on 16 June.

The event was intended to demonstrate the capability of the vehicle against a background of growing tension between Taiwan and China.

In comments reported by state news, an Armaments Bureau official confirmed that the Republic of China Army (RoCA) has ordered 305 CM-34s, with 173 delivered since 2019.

The official also said that the bureau's 209th Arsenal facility in Jiji, in the centre of Taiwan, is building six CM-34s a month, indicating that deliveries of the type are on track to be completed by 2023.

The event marked the first time that the CM-34 had been demonstrated to media, although a prototype of the vehicle was unveiled at the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition (TADTE) in 2019.
