Luckey’s imagined scenario, where Taiwan defeats a Chinese invasion in 2029 outright with swarms of AI-powered drones (cruise missiles), autonomous submarines (torpedoes), and mass-producible missiles (more cruise missiles), is an excellent piece of storytelling. But as a strategic vision, it is hilariously flawed.

The Ukrainians use of naval drones and missiles against Russia's navy has been spectacularly successful to the extent they have had to withdraw from anywhere near Ukraine. While Luckey may be off on the details I'm sure it would be a major issue if China tried to invade Taiwan.
