Thinktank Urges Creation Of Asymmetric Hellscape With Drones

A new report from the US-based thinktank Center for a New American Security (CNAS) suggests that Taiwan’s current defense approach is unlikely to deter Chinese aggression and recommends creating an asymmetric hellscape with thousands of drones working in concert with conventional weapons. The concept aims to render an invasion prohibitively costly by targeting China’s People’s Liberation Army during its cross-strait transit and landing. However, Taiwan faces significant hurdles in implementing this strategy, including a lack of domestic industrial base and institutional problems in its military. The report was published by Breaking Defense.
