Taiwan unveils two-phase Anti-Ship Missile deployment plan

Taiwan plans to establish anti-ship missile squadrons across the territory against a potential Chinese navy invasion, Liberty Times revealed, citing a project report.

The first stage of the two-stage project, running from 2017-2026, involves improving the missile firing control system at six fixed sites. Seven locations will be engineering facilities, including a “mobile launch vehicle garage, the mission control center, and the ammunition depot,” the Taipei-based outlet added.

These sites will be located in various counties and cities of southern Taiwan, including Kaohsiung, Tainan, Pingtung, and Taitung. The Chinese Academy of Sciences also recently constructed a bomb-resistant ammunition depot, CNA reported.
