In August 2025, Taiwan publicly demonstrated a fast, uncrewed surface vessel launching loitering munitions at a maritime target. This was part of a larger display of their modular, expendable, and deadly naval drones that are a central part of Taiwan’s plan to counter a potential Chinese amphibious invasion.

In this video, we break down Taiwan’s new fleet of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs)—including Kuaiqi, Sea Shark 800, Endeavour Manta, and Piranha 9. We get into what they’re capable of, how they’d be used in war, and why China’s Navy is paying close attention.
