Taiwan is promoting its newest anti-ship missile Hsiung Feng III for export. The Chinese Academy of Sciences (Taiwan) announced plans to export its latest anti-ship missile Hsiung Feng III.

During the international air show Paris Air Show 2017, the Taiwan delegation presented a supersonic anti-ship prototype of the surface-to-surface cruise missile Hsiung Feng III.

The Hsiung Feng III missile is designed to deal with large surface targets, including aircraft carriers. Hsiung Feng III is capable of speeding up to 2300 km / h and hitting targets at ranges up to 150 km.

In total, the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan intends to spend 12 billion Taiwan dollars (406.5 million US dollars) for the purchase of 120 Hsiung Feng III missiles for the fleet.

In Japan, they develop an ultramodern missile to combat Russian and Chinese warships. In Japan, a fundamentally new anti-ship missile is being developed. At the exhibition MAST Asia 2017 (Maritime Air Systems & Technologies) was presented information about the Japanese anti-ship missile XSSM, reports navyrecognition.com. Many military experts have already noted that the new missile is being developed against the backdrop of the growing activity of combat ships of the naval forces of China and the Russian Federation along the Japanese borders. First of all, the new anti-ship missiles will have to provide security to the numerous Japanese islands in case of possible aggression. It is reported that the rocket is created on the basis of the Type 88 PCR, which, in turn, is developed on the basis of SSM-1 technologies. For the first time, information about the new missile appeared in 2012 as "a less risky and less expensive family of anti-ship missiles." It was noted that the RCC will be supplied in three versions - ship-based, aviation and coastal. At the end of January 2017, the spotters reported the launch of the RCC from the test ship JS Asuka on the basis that the ship returned to the base with an empty launch canister. It is believed that the development of the XSSM and XASM-3 missiles is of strategic importance for Japan, since it will help to block the "first chain of islands" from the Japanese archipelago to Taiwan in the event of military action from the side
