Well that lesson from the UKR war didn’t take long to sink in. I presume they were buying some, but the number and speed of deployment seems very large and rapid.

Taiwan setting up 20-25 squadrons to operate shore-base anti-ship missiles ? Alert 5

Taiwan setting up 20-25 squadrons to operate shore-base anti-ship missiles

Taiwan is in the process of standing up between 20 to 25 squadrons in its navy to operate three types of anti-ship missiles.

Media reports in Taiwan say these units will be equipped with Hsiung Feng II, Hsiung Feng III, extended-range Hsiung Feng III, and Harpoon missiles in the future.

To support these units, new facilities such as ammunition depots, a driver training center, a maintenance center, and garages, will be built over the next few years.

The strategy will be to send these units to mountainous areas and tunnels during wartime to protect them against incoming attacks.

These squadrons are expected to be fully established by 2026.
