One might get the impression that Taiwan’s defense is just a question of having the right weapons and hardware. But there’s of course more to it than that, including a huge psychological component, as a friend noted the other day when he asked:
The US plans to provide Taiwan with more suicide drones, a sale that would seek to bolster the self-governing island’s defenses against a possible Chinese invasion.
China is incorporating more advanced stealth drones, drone carriers and novel unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) into its military mix, signaling a shift to a drone-focused naval strategy for a potential Taiwan conflict against the US.
KINMEN, Taiwan – The Shun Da was kilometers off course. Authorized by China’s Maritime Safety Administration to dredge the seafloor for a new bridge near Xiamen, the Chinese-flagged vessel was instead buzzing the Taiwanese coast guard on Taiwan’s Dadan Island, about 16 kilometers to the southwest.
The US seeks to revolutionize drone warfare through the rapid, iterative development and procurement of adaptable, cost-effective Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) drones, now seen as essential for maintaining air superiority against near-peer adversaries.
The US plans to turn the Taiwan Strait into a “Hellscape” of drone swarms against a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan, buying time for US and allied intervention to assist the beleaguered self-governing island in a war scenario.
The US aims to massively upscale missile production for a possible Taiwan Strait conflict against China, a weaponry build-up that could quickly stall due to institutional obstacles, industrial challenges and a potential shortage of critical materials.
Tensions between the US and China are heating up as a top Chinese general has again accused the US of trying to form an “Asia-Pacific NATO.”
China’s People’s Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) is now building the Type 076 amphibious assault ship, a vessel that could play a pivotal role in any conflict with the United States over Taiwan.
