How the PLA may use stealth drones in a swarming boat attack from Taiwan

A Chinese military magazine, Defence Review, suggests China could use GJ-21 stealth attack drones to counter a potential swarm attack of uncrewed combat boats from Taiwan. The hypothetical scenario is inspired by Ukraine's naval strategies. The commentary highlights the GJ-21's long endurance and high manoeuvrability as key advantages against such a swarm. The GJ-21, a naval variant of the GJ-11 Sharp Sword, is described as the world's first operational ship-based stealth combat drone. This proposed countermeasure aims to address a potential "game changing" threat posed by unmanned surface vessels crossing the Taiwan Strait.
