Hellscape Defense Strategy Deters Taiwan Invasion
Rebecca Grant reports the United States Indo-Pacific Command developed an offensive tactical framework named Hellscape to counter potential Chinese invasions of Taiwan. Designed by Admiral Samuel Paparo, Hellscape deploys swarms of cheap drones, loitering munitions like Damocles, and unmanned vehicles to confuse attacking Chinese forces. This strategy draws upon lessons from Ukrainian drone warfare to disrupt enemy spectrum operations and clear pathways for heavy precision weapons. Regional allies including Japan, Australia, and the Philippines are integrating into this defense architecture. To ensure deterrence succeeds, Taiwan must receive delayed military shipments of advanced electronic warfare systems for its fighter jets without delay. (4)
