A defense official from Taiwan confirmed on April 19 that it is looking to acquire long-range, air-launched cruise missiles from the United States. The confirmation comes amid the island’s efforts to bolster its defenses in the face of increasing pressure from Beijing.
Taiwan is already developing its own long-range missiles as it seeks to gain the ability to strike back deep into China in the event of war. That said, it has also looked to the United States to help provide it with more advanced weaponry.
Talking to parliament about which weapons systems Taiwan wants to buy, Lee Shih-chiang, head of Taiwan’s defense ministry’s strategic planning department, named Lockheed Martin’s AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) as the missile Taiwan is looking to procure.
