It will be easy: China laughed at Hsiung Feng IIE Taiwan Army

Chinese media claim that Beijing is not afraid of Taiwan's new weapons that can strike a deep strike in the PRC. According to experts, the permutic speed HF-2E and the absence of stealth technologies make it vulnerable. The Chinese media criticized the capabilities of the new Taiwan rocket for Hsiung Feng IIE (or HF-2E), stating with irony that these weapons are a "limited" threat to the mainland. This was reported on February 6 at Defense Post.

In August 2023, the Taiwan military conducted a Winged HF-2E lace rocket, which is reported, can affect the targets up to 1200 kilometers. After the trials, it was stated that this radius was sufficient to penetrate deep into the Chinese area. However, in one of the numbers of the Chinese magazine Ordnance Industry Science Technology, it was a new version of the winged launch rocket with increased flight range, reminiscent of American Tomahawk.

The authors of the material criticized it for the fact that "relatively large size, permutant speed and lack of stealth technologies make it vulnerable to detect. " The Chinese also boasted that the People's Liberation Army (NVAK) would be easy to intercept HF-2e because of the "limited capabilities of the Taiwanese military" in media missiles. Meanwhile, Business Insider observers write that Taiwan has six different types of winged missiles, including land and anti -ship.

And if earlier the military islands had a small range of defense missile systems, then Taiwan has started to develop and deploy systems more suitable for shock missions, including winged landscape missiles. There is also information that Taiwan develops a supersonic winged Ching Tien rocket with a distance of 2000 kilometers, so optimistic findings of Chinese experts can be premature.
