Taiwan wants a cutting-edge strategy to counter the YJ-12, mainland China’s toughest supersonic cruise missile, a Taiwan Navy magazine said.

The missile had been deployed off the coast of mainland China and synthetic islands in the South China Sea and posed a direct risk to aircraft carrier strike groups from Taiwan and the United States, he said.

Considered Beijing’s most damaging anti-ship missile because of its diversity and speed, the YJ-12 can be introduced from land, air and sea, and has air defense systems aboard U. S. aircraft carriers, according to an article in the December issue of Taiwan’s navy professional bimonthly newspaper.

“The Taiwan Strait is no longer a herbal barrier to deter a tough and developing PLA from crossing the waterway, and none of Taiwan’s warships are capable of dealing with the hard YJ-12,” the report says.

“In such a disparity of the army, the Taiwanese army will have to thoroughly assess its position and try to find asymmetrical and vanguard methods to attack the weakness of the enemy. “

The article, written by active naval commanders Chen Yi-cheng and Luo Zhen-yu, said that the progression of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) missiles fostered through the asymmetric doctrine of the former Soviet Union, focused on its original benefits and specialties. as a way to counter America’s aircraft carrier strategy.

“The YJ-12 is a combination of Russian and Chinese supersonic missile technologies,” he said, explaining that it was based on the Soviet P-270 Moskit supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, supported through the PLA’s complex directional radars and built at home. BeiDou’s global navigation formula to develop its precision punch capability.

He said the detection diversity of the U. S. Navy’s early precaution aircraft antenna array is not very much the case. The U. S. missile was about 320 km (200 miles), but the YJ-12 missile had an operational diversity of more than 400 km.

He also said he nearly intercepted a YJ-12 warhead, which has a speed of Mach four and can hit a target in 30 seconds once fired.

Satellite photographs showed that the YJ-12 was deployed on the Fiery Cross, Mischief and Subi reefs, 3 synthetic islands built through the PLA in the South China Sea, to deter American and Japanese ships from coming to Taiwan’s aid if attacked through the PLA, according to the report. saying.
