China-Taiwan war drums beat louder as Taipei rearms reservists & upgrades its homegrown jets

Published on Jul 05, 2026 01:28 am IST

Taiwan has taken another major step to strengthen its military by successfully testing its first air-launched supersonic anti-ship missile amid rising tensions with China. The new Hsiung Chia missile, integrated under the Falcon modernization program, is designed to enhance Taiwan's ability to strike enemy warships at long range. Alongside upgraded Indigenous Defense Fighters, AESA radars, and Sky Sword-II missiles, Taipei is expanding its deterrence strategy as Beijing continues to increase military pressure around the Taiwan Strait. Will these upgrades be enough to counter China's growing military power?
