This feels like a classic Sun Tzu “Art of War” technique. The objective is purely psychological.
First, begin with light incursions. Test the response. What does the United States do about a little annoyance? Nothing?
Next, wait a bit then increase the stimulus. What if we have multiple drones doing tricks. No response? Do they have guns to shoot these down?
Next, we add different types of drones. Some large enough to carry bombs. Others with scanners.
Next, they come in flocks of 40-50. Too many to shoot down.
Let’s be honest: China has drone superiority to America, probably by a lot. We have no idea.
We have been running incursions near Taiwan for years. This would be a natural response.
It can also be denied. That is the key point. If it were giant red drones with CCP emblems the United States press and public would get pissed off and a larger response would follow.
Little innocuous drones? Enough to get on your nerves, can be denied, threatening and menacing yet nothing to react to.
Classic Sun Tzu.
