Taiwan is on its way to mounting its potent indigenous anti ship missile on its domestically built fighter jet.
Taiwan’s air-launched Hsiung Feng III (HF-3) Anti-Ship Missile (AShM) is now undergoing captive carry and drop trials from the RoCAF’s (Republic of China Air Force) F-CK-1 Ching-kuo Indigenous Defense Fighter, with tests conducted in June, July and scheduled till end of this August.
Viewer may note that a Liberty Times report dated June 19, 2025, featured a Ching-kuo fighter carrying two HF-3 missiles—one mounted under each wing—marked with red-and-white paint scheme bands and bearing the designations AX-001 and AX-004. While these markings are not clearly visible in the image, the color scheme and numbering suggest that the missiles are test articles.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why air launched Hsiung Feng III is terrible news for China?
