Taiwan will begin mass production of its new Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missile
next year. The project has been kept secret, or as secret as possible, but some
details have leaked out. The Hsiung Feng III is apparently a one ton missile,
with a range of 300 kilometers and a top speed of about 2,200 kilometers an
hour. Low flying and using a highly effective guidance and targeting system, the
missile is meant to take out Chinese warships and transports while they are
still far from Taiwan. The missile can also hit land targets with its 500 pound
warhead. The Hsiung Feng missiles are based on the American Harpoon design, but
have been expanded considerably since the Hsiung Feng I. The missiles can also
hit land targets, but until the latest version, this was not very practical
because of the short range of the missiles. There is believed to be a slower,
but longer range Hsiung Feng (the IIE), with a range of 500 kilometers, and
cluster bomb warheads for destroying military targets on land. The Hsiung Feng
III can also be launched from land, and mobile launchers for these missiles may
end up being added to Taiwan?s defenses.
