Taiwan Launches the Island's First Domestically made Submarine for Testing
Taiwan's President launched the island's first domestically made submarine for testing at a port in Kaohsiung. The submarine, if successful in its tests, will be a major breakthrough for Taiwan in shipbuilding and design.
The submarine, named Hai Kun, or literally "Sea Kun," is named for a type of fish found in Chinese literature called Kun, of legendary proportions. It took seven years of design and construction.
It will only be handed over to the military after passing both its harbor and ocean-faring tests. Taiwan plans to build another submarine if successful, with both to be deployed by 2027.

Germany and Israel Sign historic Missile Shield Deal
Germany signed a deal to acquire the Israeli-made Arrow 3 hypersonic missile system that will become a key part of Europe's defence against air attack. The signing of the deal was a historic day for both countries.
Worth around $3.5 billion (3.3 billion euros), the sale is the biggest ever deal for Israel's military industry. The Arrow 3 system would make German air defence ready for the future. Germany has led a push to bolster NATO's air defences in Europe after the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year, urging allies to buy deterrence systems together.
The system was developed and produced by Israel and the United States and the sale had to be approved by Washington before it could be finalised. The system was first deployed at an Israeli air force base in 2017 and has been used to protect Israel against attacks from Iran and Syria.
