Taiwan's military has conducted live-fire drills using US-made attack drones as part of efforts to strengthen its defense capabilities. The exercises featured Anduril's Altius-600M drones launched from mobile platforms. The drones are a key component of Taiwan's "hellscape" defense strategy, which envisions the Taiwan Strait filled with unmanned systems to complicate any potential naval invasion attempt.

Taiwan’s military has been testing US-made attack drones.

 

They’re launching Anduril’s Altius-600-M drones from mobile platforms. The military says the drones hit all their targets. They are a key part of Taiwan’s so-called “Hellscape” defense strategy. That’s the idea the Taiwan Strait would be filled with drones, making it difficult for enemy forces to attempt a naval invasion. The military also conducted live-fire artillery and rocket exercises this week.
