Taiwan to Spend NT$4.1 Billion on Six Bomb-Resistant Ammunition Depots

Taiwan’s army plans to spend NT$4.178858 billion on six new bomb-resistant ammunition depots, with total capacity of 10,250 tons.

The projects, listed in the Ministry of National Defense’s fiscal 2027 budget proposal, cover facilities in Longtan, Zhikengwei, Hukou, Shuanglianpo, Taipingli and Guansi. Individual depots will hold between 250 and 1,500 tons of ammunition, and all six are scheduled for completion by fiscal 2033 at the latest.

The army is also continuing depot projects in Daxi and Nanhu. Including those facilities, the military is expected to add 18,250 tons of ammunition storage capacity by fiscal 2023, according to the report. The depots will be distributed across different locations, a layout intended to support dispersed deployment and reduce losses from attacks.

The army said the completed facilities will provide temperature-controlled, humidity-controlled and blast-resistant storage. Fire-protection and environmental-control systems will also be installed to extend ammunition shelf life, improve safety, and meet support and sustained-operation requirements.
