The Center for a New American Security (CNAS), a think tank that has been closely monitoring developments in the Taiwan Strait, suggests in a report that the US military will need to invest in remote drones to effectively counter a potential invasion threat from mainland China against Taiwan. The experts at the US think tank believe that the US should invest in remote drones to tackle the potential Taiwan Strait crisis, emphasizing the importance of establishing layered defenses by purchasing a sufficient number of high-quality remote drones to narrow the military gap. The report also suggests that Taiwan and the US should build drone fleets using high-end paired with cost-effective systems to support missions in contested airspace and quickly replace damaged drones. Additionally, the fleets should include autonomous kamikaze drones to attack Chinese mainland warships and potentially overwhelm enemy air defense systems, considering China's larger and cheaper drone capabilities. The report calls for Taiwan to develop its drone fleet for self-defense, as US forces may not be able to arrive on the battlefield promptly in case of a conflict, with reports indicating a potential full-scale invasion of Taiwan by the Asian military superpower by 2027. Recommended readings include reports on Xi Jinping's alleged plan to attack Taiwan and discussions on maintaining strategic ambiguity towards Taiwan by the US.
