Taiwan opposition pitches $7.5 billion drone plan after stalling government bid

AI Summary

Taiwan's opposition party has proposed a $7.5 billion plan to develop drones after the government's initial proposal stalled. This move is significant as unmanned systems have proven effective for defense against stronger adversaries in other regions.

The debate is being closely watched because use of unmanned systems elsewhere has shown how the technology can be leveraged to defend against larger adversaries.
