Iran successfully disrupted global commerce and oil supplies for months in the Strait of Hormuz, frustrating the powerful U.S. military despite its tactical victories. Employing inviscous warfare tactics like mines, fast-attack swarms, drones, and boarding operations, Iran created a high-cost kill zone that the U.S. Navy and Air Force could not effectively contain.
This demonstrated that a viscous force cannot successfully engage an inviscous opponent without first achieving containment, negating the agile adversary's superior mobility. Taiwan must now apply this strategic logic in reverse, transforming the Taiwan Strait into a similar kill zone for a Chinese amphibious invasion. Taiwan's defense policy increasingly prioritizes inviscous instruments such as Hsiung Feng anti-ship missiles, coastal defense cruise missiles, and drone boats, distributed across its coastline. These capabilities, combined with decentralized command and genuine national will, aim to impose unacceptable costs on Beijing's inherently viscous invasion forces, fostering a strategic stalemate.
