Taiwan Expands Drone and Unmanned Boat Use in Military Exercises Against China
Taiwan is adapting its military strategy to counter a potential Chinese invasion by expanding its use of aerial drones and unmanned attack boats. Inspired by Ukraine's drone warfare, Taiwan is testing these systems during the 10-day Han Kuang exercises to integrate them with missiles and conventional weapons against amphibious assaults. The country aims to produce up to 100,000 drones monthly, exploring whether mass-produced unmanned weapons can effectively challenge China's larger military forces.
