Taiwan’s asymmetric warfare plan – also known as the “porcupine” strategy – could pose a significant threat to a PLA campaign against the island, a mainland Chinese military magazine has warned. But the People’s Liberation Army could counter that strategy with an American-style “decapitation” strike, according to the article in the November issue of Naval and Merchant Ships.
It analysed how the porcupine strategy played out in Taiwan’s annual military exercise in July – known as Han Kuang – which was its biggest ever, and also looked at possible countermeasures the PLA could take.Play The asymmetric warfare strategy would see Taiwan become like a porcupine – covered in “quills” such as lightweight, shoulder-launched air defence missiles to fend off the much larger and better armed PLA.
