Hidden beneath tarpaulins, an uncommon sight at Chinese shipyards, a new trimaran-hulled vessel appears to combine features of both surface ships and submarines. Satellite imagery suggests it may be uncrewed, designed for high-speed operations. Though its purpose remains unknown, the project reflects the accelerating pace and growing sophistication of China’s naval innovation.

Este é grande poder da china, enquanto uns andam brincar aos desenhos debattle ships eles vão pelo pragmatismo. Infelizmente embora ainda me pareça é possível defender Taiwan por ser uma ilha e ser preciso uma linha contínua de suprimentos para uma incursão anfíbia o espaço vai se encurtando.

Muito provavelmente passará por colocar alguns destes "disfarçados" ao redor da ilha antes de uma invasão.

Mas a China só irá dar o passo quando sentir que a vitória é 100% certa
