Given the experience of the Ukrainian conflict, Taiwanese military officials are increasingly talking about using drones as a countermeasure to a hypothetical Chinese invasion. This is indicated by the $1.6 billion budget allocated in 2022 to create their own drone production.
However, the main problem for Taiwan remains the number of drones it has. The gap between Taipei and Beijing in this case is very large. Therefore, even with the help of the Americans, it is unlikely that the island’s authorities will be able to achieve any kind of parity with mainland China in the near future.
