US military leaders have recently emphasized the use of unmanned weapons to deter a Chinese attack on Taiwan. Reports indicate that the US has purchased and developed multiple unmanned weapon systems over the years, with around dozens of projects aimed at creating a strong offensive capability in the Taiwan Strait. Plans include deploying thousands of unmanned weapons to block Chinese forces from crossing the strait and to gather intelligence to ensure successful operations in various areas. The US and its allies could quickly deploy unmanned weapons before a potential Chinese invasion, using methods such as deploying MQ-9 Reaper drones in the Philippines and unmanned surface vessels in the Pacific. The deployment could involve large transport aircraft, ships, or submarines, showcasing the potential for a networked system using satellites, drones, and underwater vehicles to target enemy amphibious fleets crossing the Taiwan Strait.
