Taiwan:
The Republic of China (RoC) Coast Guard received the second of a planned fleet of 12 Anping Class missile-capable patrol boats on June 25. Named Chenggong (CG-602), the vessel was handed over in a ceremony held at the facilities of the Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Group in the southern port city of Kaohsiung, according to a statement by Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration.
The design of the Anping class is based on the Taiwanese Navy (ROC Navy)’s Tuo-chiang class missile corvette. The CGA press release showed that Anping-class can withstand Beaufort scale force 9 wind, traveling at over 44 knots maximum speed. Anping class is fitted with high-pressure water cannon, 20mm guns, remote weapons stations, and there is space for converting the patrol vessel into a missile corvette armed with Hsiung Feng II and/or Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missiles.

Singapore has inducted Lockheed Martin’s AN/TPQ-53 weapon locating radar plus a 120mm mortar variant of the Marauder protected combat support vehicle, known locally as the Belrex, as the Singapore Army caps off a 17-year third-generation transformation process.
The process culminated in full operational capability of a combined-arms division (CAD) to muster all army formations to fight as a single unit, and to build on the concept of precision information, fire and manoeuvre.

Japan’s new defense whitepaper issues warnings over Taiwan’s security, climate change
The language in the July 13 document differs from previous versions, which would carefully choose their use of words on the matter.

Kenya:
The UK is stepping up its counter-terrorism and military support to Kenya as the two countries signed a new five-year Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA).
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Defence Dr Monica Juma signed the accord during her visit to London yesterday.
The agreement will enable the two countries to enhance coordination in their joint efforts to improve regional security in East Africa, including the fight against Islamist terrorist group Al-Shabaab.
The UK and Kenya already regularly work together to counter the threat from Al-Shabaab, not only through training as strengthened in the DCA, but also by sharing information and identifying new ways to target the group financially with sanctions, and starve them of new recruits by addressing the root causes of violent extremism.
Building on the existing agreement, the new DCA will provide a basis for the exchange of military personnel for defence activity, allowing for enhanced training opportunities and increased collaboration in peace support work.

Thailand:
The US State Department approved a potential sale of 300 Javelin FGM-148 Missiles to Thailand accounts for another estimated $83.5 million.
Thailand’s request would include 300 Javelin missiles, as well as 50 Command Launch Units, plus associated technical support and training.
Thailand wants to use the Javelin to replace the 106mm Recoilless Rifles that the Royal Thai Army was given back during the Vietnam War; doing so will improve the country’s anti-tank capability and help with interoperability, according to the DSCA statement.

Interesting... coupled with the Chinese armor they bought, the Thais down the light might have better knowledge on how best to kill Chicom tanks or vice versa, show the Chinese data on how to better protect the Chinese tanks to said missiles.

Taiwan's central news agency reported the enhanced TC-2 is to enter mass production. Earlier news suggested the production of new batch TC-2 was halted due to other emergency purchases. The MLUed F-CK-1 increased BVR load from two to four.

Taiwan announced a more modest pace in defence spending for next year on Thursday, but will spend $1.44 billion on new fighter jets, as the island bolsters its forces in the face of increased pressure from Beijing.
China has stepped up its military activity near Taiwan, including holding assault drills last week near the island, which it regards as Chinese territory to be brought under Beijing's control, by force if necessary
President Tsai Ing-wen's cabinet is proposing military spending of T$471.7 billion ($16.89 billion) for the year starting in January, up from this year's budget of T$453.4 billion, the government said in a statement.
That number includes T$40.1 billion ($1.44 billion) for new fighter jets, though the government did not give details but likely refers to F-16s.
