Taiwan expands drone programme amid China defence overhaul
Original: Taiwan deepens drone push as China pressure drives defence overhaul
Taiwan is moving to expand its drone capabilities as part of a wider defence overhaul, driven by growing military pressure from China. The shift points to a strategy of using asymmetric weapons like unmanned aerial systems to strengthen the island's deterrence against a potential Chinese invasion.
Why now: Rising cross-strait tensions with China have put Taiwan's military modernisation in focus.
