China deploys converted J-6 drones near Taiwan Strait to overwhelm air defenses.

China has converted obsolete J-6 fighter jets into attack drones and deployed them at air bases near the Taiwan Strait, according to a recent report. Satellite imagery shows hundreds of these low-cost, high-speed aircraft positioned to overwhelm Taiwan's air defenses during the opening phase of a potential conflict. Analysts note the strategy forces Taiwan to use expensive interceptors against cheap targets, a tactic Beijing is expanding alongside more advanced drone technology.
