These type of missiles worry me, stand back and point, fire and sink a carrier.

Russia has sold this type to Iran, No Korea and Ven.

Now I guess this is payback on the Russians and Chinese for selling arms around the globe.

Is there a defense on this type of missile, besides using other ships to block incomming missiles?

Taiwan plans to mass produce supersonic anti-ship missiles to beef up the island's defense capabilities against China following successful test firings of the weaponry, a report said Monday.
The defense ministry next year would set aside a budget for mass production of the Hsiung Feng III missile, which is expected to make its debut during the 2006 "Han Kuang 22" exercise, the Chinese-language China Times said.

Given its speed and capability of flying at low altitude, the missile would be difficult to intercept, it said.

The Hsiung Feng III is capable of cruising at mach 2.5 and has a range of up to 150 kilometers (90 miles), it said.

Once the navy was equipped with the weaponry, the island would be one of the few countries in the world to be armed with supersonic anti-ship missiles, the paper said.
