Apply Middle East Lessons to Taiwan - by Stephen Bryen

Iran's Attack Could be Replicated by China Against Taiwan - STEPHEN BRYEN

"There is still a great deal to learn about Iran's drone and missile attack on Israel. 

Even so, it is very clear that if such an attack was launched by China against Taiwan, the results could well be dismal and Taiwan would suffer greatly. 

If there is one clear lesson from Iran's attack, it is that the US and Japan along with Taiwan must urgently prepare to fend off a similar attack.
In the Iranian attack on Israel:

• 170 Kamikaze Drones were fired. None entered Israeli territory. At least one appears to have landed in Iran.
• 30 Cruise Missiles were fired; 25 were shot down outside of Israeli territory.
• 103 out of 110 Ballistic Missiles were shot down; 7 Ballistic Missile impacts were recorded on Israeli territory​. Five of them hit the Nevatim air base damaging at least one transport plane...

The pivot of the operation outside of Israel was the US Central Command (CENTCOM). CENTCOM coordinated the actions of all the players...
This is an important, in fact a vital lesson for defending Taiwan....
