The range of a winged Hsiung Feng-IIE rocket type B type B can reach from 1200 to 1500 km, these systems are upgraded. "The stated range of type B missile is 1200-1500 km, which means that the rocket can affect the targets in China. They can run from mobile launches during counterattack," said the Taipei Times source about Hsiung Feng-IIE.
The Taiwanese National Institute of Science and Technologies of Zhong-Shang (NCSIST) oversees the development of missiles and other advanced technologies, including lasers and drones to counteract the threat of growing. Hsiung Feng III is another rocket in Taiwan arsenal, one of the varieties of which can overcome the distance of more than 1000 km and affect both land and naval facilities. The range of Yun Feng's supersonic winged rocket is from 1200 to 2000 km.
In turn, Beijing also develops rocket technologies. During the visit of the US House Explication, Nancy Pelosi in Taibi in August last year launched 11 Dongfeng-15 missiles (DF-15) on the waters around Taiwan. According to some estimates, the DF-15 range-600-900 km. Another rocket that was developed in Taiwan is Dongfeng-17 (DF-17). According to the Chinese media, the DF-17 has a hypersonic glider, which makes the rocket flying at a speed that is five times higher than the speed of sound.
DF-17 range from 1800 to 2500 km. Some call the DF-17 "aircraft carrier killer" because of its ability to impress the target. In July 2022, the Chinese army launched a DF-17 rocket from a mobile launcher. DF-17 is expected to play a decisive role in Beijing's military strategy against Taiwan.
"The DF-17 will play a major role in the protection of China's territorial integrity, since regions such as the South Chinese Sea, the Taiwanese Strait and Northeast Asia are within reach," said the Global Times, a state-owned Global Times in a comment to the Global Times in a comment. It should be reminded that, according to the military analyst of Alexander Kovalenko, Ukrainian F-16 will be able to knock down Russian planes AIM-120 AMraam rockets.
