world

De facto U.S. ambassador to Taiwan Raymond Greene says drones could fundamentally reshape the island's defense strategy. He calls them a 'game-changing opportunity' to enhance Taiwan's security, arguing that the country should develop a robust drone capability—what he described as becoming a 'hornet's nest' of unmanned systems. The assessment reflects growing U.S. interest in bolstering Taiwan's ability to defend itself amid military pressure from China. According to Al Jazeera, drone technology is increasingly reshaping military strategy across the Asia-Pacific region.
