The source argues that several counterterrorism-era aircraft—MALE drones, subsonic attack planes, and attack helicopters—could be adapted for cost-effective counter-drone and counter-USV missions in a Taiwan war. It further suggests these platforms could supplement long-range maritime strike and partially mitigate U.S. ISR shortfalls through modular sensors and emerging payload concepts.
The PRC’s December 29–30, 2025 Justice Mission 2025 exercise simulated a blockade of Taiwan’s major ports and energy import routes while integrating China Coast Guard patrols as a frontline interdiction element. The source suggests the drill also rehearsed counter-intervention, precision strike, and limited amphibious/air assault enabling actions, indicating a broader multi-domain isolation campaign concept.
