In the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, Lyle Goldstein, in an October 2025 Defense Priorities report, says China would use ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, rocket artillery, drones and airpower to suppress Taiwan’s air defenses and strike radars, command-and-control nodes, airbases, naval facilities and logistics infrastructure.
Goldstein says Chinese strike missions could number in the thousands per day initially, while China’s industrial capacity would allow it to replenish missile stocks during a prolonged conflict and sustain repeated strikes on Taiwanese airfields.
