Taiwan needs to beef up their antiacraft capabilities as well.
I think everyone would agree Taiwan is going to be in an untenable position should the ChiComs invade, especially with our government as it is. They can expect no help from us. We already cannot afford it, we are so far in debt that every dollar spent is a dollar borrowed, with interest. (I just read where our interest payments alone this year will be nearly 700 billion dollars. Wow. That means we are broke.)
But that doesn’t mean they should not prepare (except to prepare to roll over as many Leftists and ChiCom sympathizers would like them to do) to defend themselves and make it as costly as possible.
Granted, to a totalitarian country with nearly 1.5 billion people whose lives mean absolutely nothing to the CCP except as a means to keep power, taking out a transport and losing 5,000 soldiers is no big deal to them, but still.
Because the war in Ukraine is showing how effective Western air defenses are against drones and hypersonic missiles?
Because 5th generation Chinese fighters can engage targets without leaving Mainland Chinese territory?
