    Taiwan “Hey Ukraine, got a few of those navel drones for us?”

    Ukraine has shown that a traditional naval power is pretty weak.

      lol yeah cuz Ukraine is doing great right now, huh?

      Taiwan is likely looking at how the West used Ukraine and seeing its own future if it comes to war, and is not excited for it.

      Do you think China doesn’t have drones? They produce a huge amount of them, and have defenses against drones.

      Sure, the war on Ukraine and a possible war on Taiwan have so much in common, you are such an expert of warfare, they just need drones.

      Why would they need to ask Ukraine for them when Taiwan has much more mature electronics manufacturing sectors than Ukraine?

        There are other bits to making marine drones than just electronics.

        Tomahawks are “just electronics” too and I’m pretty sure Taiwan can’t mass-produce those
