Taiwan deploys cruise missiles with a range of 1,200 kilometers that covers Shanghai in which strengthens their threat against the Communist Party of China(2)

The Hsiung Feng 2E is to attack the “source (command),” such as the Chinese troops assembling point in the coastal areas of the Taiwan Strait when they are preparing to invade Taiwan. However, if Taiwan deploys Hsiung Sheng missiles in an actual combat, Taiwan can further attack troops and ballistic missile bases at the rear of communist China. In addition, Shanghai, the city with the most economic significance in China is also within range, adding to the psychological pressure on China’s political and military leadership.

Regarding the “Hsiung sheng,” the “Special Budget for improving Sea and Air Combat Effectiveness” was submitted by the Tsai Ing-wen administration to the Legislative Yuan (equivalent to Congress) in November last year. It only indicated there is such an item. However, since then, the Liberty Times, a newspaper close to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party reported in March of this year; according to relevant sources, there are plans to produce more than 100 of these missiles besides the firing range. He also reported that members of the legislature, which belonged to the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan and others have secretly received an explanation in October last year. It was at the “National Chung-Shan Institute of Science & Technology,” a research and development institution of the Department of Defense.

Legislator Wang Ting-yu, who belongs to the committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, posted on his Facebook on the evening of the 20th. He claimed the details of “Hsiung Sheng” were based on public information from the army media” and “it will enter mass production shortly.” However, Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense has not yet disclosed any relevant information.
