Think Normandy. Yes, alone they’d be huge targets, but when you’ve also got ships shelling the coast and anti-air batteries, plus bombers bombing the anti-air and fighters and attack aircraft tying up Taiwan’s other air defenses, then you can land on the beach with marines and these craft.

Don’t you think guided missiles and drones make a normandy scenario impossible?
No. Maybe just more costly.
I disagree, but perhaps we will find out what works over the next few years.
