This should concern Taiwanese defense planners.

THIS IS HUGE!

With all the merchant traffic in the straits and with the ability to now CONVINCINGLY hide within that traffic means that a modern day 'trojan horse' assault can be conducted.

I've always read about planning for putting paratroopers/special ops aboard commercial aircraft to storm airports ahead of a follow-on force from the 82nd (and then an armored brigade) but never an amphibious assault.

Interesting.
