The Taiwanese military plans to deploy anti-ship missiles with a range of 400 kilometers in the eastern part of Taiwan to deter the PLA aircraft carrier Xiongsan | Missile | Taiwan Island
The Taiwanese military plans to deploy the extended range "Xiongsan" missile in the eastern part of Taiwan Island.
According to a report by Taiwan's "China Times" today, the People's Liberation Army held a "ring-Taiwan" military exercise in early April this year, and the aircraft carrier Shandong ship "participated in the exercise" in the eastern waters of Taiwan Island ". The Taiwan military claims that it will adjust its strategic deployment and accelerate the mass production of the extended-range "Xiongfengs3" anti-ship missile, which will be deployed in eastern Taiwan to "deter" the PLA aircraft carrier fleet. It is understood that the extended-range "Xiongsan" missile has a range of about 400 kilometers.
Qiu Guozheng, head of Taiwan's defense department, claimed in a reply to a question in Taiwan's legislature in May that after the Shandong warship had infested eastern Taiwan, the eastern part was already within the scope of the Taiwan military's review, threatening that "once the war starts, Taiwan will have no front or rear".
It is reported that the Taiwan Navy has established a shore mounted anti-ship missile mobile squadron in Taitung, and whether the extended range "Xiongsan" missile has been deployed remains confidential. According to reports, the Taiwan Navy will continue to acquire "Xiong 2", "Xiong 3" missiles, and extended range "Xiong 3" missiles from next year to 2026, with plans to deploy them at 12 selected locations throughout Taiwan. According to reports, the two prototype light patrol ships built by the Taiwan Navy after bidding will also be equipped with extended range "Xiongsan" missiles to "deter" PLA aircraft carriers.
According to the Taiwan military's "Sea and Air Combat Power Enhancement Plan and Procurement Special Budget" plan, in the special budget of nearly 240 billion yuan, mass production of shore mounted anti-ship missile systems, including "Xiong 2", "Xiong 3" missiles, and extended range "Xiong 3" missiles, accounted for 34%, totaling 79.7 billion yuan, a very high proportion. According to the special budget plan, the annual mass production of the Xiong-3 missile will be increased from 20 to 70. Currently, 16 production lines have been opened to accelerate production.
The Taiwanese military claims that the Taiwanese Navy is constructing a "command and control network" connecting shore mounted anti-ship missiles with surface ships, and in the future, including shore mounted harpoon missiles purchased from the United States, will also be included to integrate operational information.
In response to the Democratic Progressive Party's attempt to "use military force to reject reunification," a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office had previously emphasized that the DPP's attempt to use military force to resist reunification is destined to fail. The more trouble they cause, the closer they are to self destruction.
