Damn, that's savage
Yahoo actually reported this as "Taiwan accidentally fires 'carrier-killing missile' towards China". No joke.
>>30474391
>>“It was very efficient. The fishing boat was made of carbon fiber with a low cross section and yet the missile did its job.”
damn
>>30474391
Psychopathy at the state level.
>>30474391
I mean, if nobody died I guess I'd put that in the "win" column. That sailor's butthole is going to be pounded bloody by the green weenie, though.
>>30474675
>killing one
>>30474684
Yeah a chink. It's a nobody.
Imagine the guy's face when he realised he actually shot the missile.
>>30474693
Taiwanese people are actually pretty alright.
Impressive
The Republic of China has gotten a true advantage over other Asian nations. That is a truly battle tested design that can defeat stealth and render EW obsolete. Philippine fishing boats be warned, obey the Republic of China.
>>30474741
Close, but you need to work more on convoluting the syntax. And your punctuation was too appropriate.
>>30474741
I'm Taiwanese. We don't bluster like that. Taiwan is one of the least nationalistic countries for better or worse.

Oo, it's a ramjet.
That's cool.
>>30475367
Yeah, with a range of 300km. The thing that's most impressive about it to me is that the Taiwanese built these 500t corvettes to launch these, and each corvette carries 8 of them.
If I were PLAN, I'd really wonder how the fuck did Taiwan get to this point in missile tech when they haven't a space program.
>>30475408
To be fair, India has a space program and yet they produce weapons like the Arjun and the INSAS.
Positive as fuck.
That feeling this debacle sparks more orders for the missiles.
Amazing
>>30475719
We should keep in mind that Taiwan intends to make more of these corvettes.
>The Tuo Jiang, created under the “Swift Sea” program, is a 500-tonne displacement vessel capable of reaching speed 38 knots per hour (~70kph). It packs a powerful punch, with eight Hsiung Feng (HF-2) subsonic anti-ship missiles (ASM) and eight Hsiung Feng 3 (HF-3) supersonic ASMs. This gives the boat twice the firepower currently found on Kidd-class destroyers and Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates
Missilethreat.com says that
>Taiwan’s local build experience already includes eight Perry-class frigates (Cheng Kung-class), 31 170-ton Kuang Hua 6 fast-attack missile boats armed with Hsiung Feng 2 missiles, 11 500-ton Ching Chiang-class missile patrol boats armed with ramjet-powered supersonic Hsiung Feng 3 missiles, and is building 12 600-ton Hsun Hai-class (Sea Swift-class) corvettes also armed with the Hsiung Feng 3.
So yeah, more of these heavily armed boats will be in service.
>>30475744
>According to IHS Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems , the subsonic Hsiung Feng II is equipped with a 225 kg high-explosive (HE) semi-armour-piercing warhead and has a range of 81 n miles, while the supersonic Hsiung Feng III packs a 120 kg HE warhead and can engage targets up to 70.2 n miles away. It is known that extended-range variants of the Hsiung Feng II have been developed, but neither the RoCN nor CSIST would be drawn on whether these improved systems have been installed on Tuo Jiang
8x missiles with 225kg HE rounds that can go 81 NM and 8x supersonic missiles capable of reaching target in excess of 70NM as of 2015 officially.
>Moreover, new technologies, such as the Sea Oryx surface-to-air missile (SAM) system and the navalised Tien Chien II air defence missile developed by CSIST, could potentially be incorporated onto subsequent Tuo Jiang-class vessels
So /k/, what do you think?
My face when I "accidently" cruise missile a fishing boat because I forgot to turn the weapon systems to videogame mode.
>>30475758
The fishing industry might take a hit?
>>30474391
Those boats look pretty damn different for being in the same class.
>>30474693
India China Taiwan and Japan all agree with you
>>30475774
That usually leads to a sink or swim moment..
>>30474391
>injuring three
How weak of a missile was it?
>>30475744
>>30475758
Taiwan really isn't fucking around when it comes to exterminating as much of the chinese navy as possible before/during a maritime invasion.
>chink green water missile boats on suicide watch.
>>30475812
pretty sure it didn't asplode.
Just harpooned a couple chinks to the bulkhead
>>30475837
The missile went through that fishing boat like a hot knife through butter. It's going at Mach 3.
>>30475814
Its going to be ridiculous if they ever start shooting at each other with the sheer number of missile boats on both sides.
>>30475795
Yeah, I noted that too.
First indigenous class made in Taiwan, I guess multiple revisions during the whole program.
>>30475812
Not much to blow up on a small fishing boat, I guess they got thrown off by the initial hit.
>>30474740
Yeah, they're like chinese, except they don't try to sell everything and are actually decent people.
>>30475915
Taiwanese are the biggest weebs in the world. They have been heavily influenced by the Nips. They are damn far apart from the ChiCom mindset and even in diet actually.
How come China has responded meekly?
If Vietnam or the Philippines accidentally blew one of their trawlers they would claim its another shoah/Nanjing for them.
>>30475758

>>30474740
Having worked with Taiwanese for 10 years, and spent a few weeks there, my views are mixed.
Whilst they had outwardly good manners, they were dishonest as fuck. I don't believe anything they say until after it actually happens, and I've checked.
That said, Chinese are the same, minus the manners.
The chicks a cute as fuck though, once you het accustomed to the flared nostrils.
Got Jap wife of 8 yrs now, so the past is the past.
TL;DR: I hope Taiwan wins somehow - lesser evil.
>>30474391
>On the small fishing boat, somewhere on Taiwan Strait:
>Hey Tse Ching, how much one of these taiwanese anti ship missile is worth?
>What? Kang Su, are you fucking crazy? What kind of question is that? Go back to fishing, you lazy bastard!
>C'mon Tse Ching, just answer.
>Oh for Confucius's sake, I have no fucking clue! Few millions of new dolars! Why the fuck you keep asking this shit, anyway?
>Well, Tse Ching, if you are right it's looks like a lot of wealth is flying in our direction...
>>30476045
Dude, you were in Taipei weren't you?
The business types are ruthless as shit and can be human trash. They aren't as cutthroat the ChiCom asswads, but can be sleazy.
>>30476056
About $3mil USD a piece.
>>30476020
It's so good it can't be real.
Say no to bullying against fishing ships.
Allow CIWS for fishing vessels!
>>30475814
Doesnt really help much if China has absolute air-supremacy over the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan's airforce is pretty pathetic desu
>>30476006
It didnt hit a Chinese trawler, but a Taiwanese one.
Chinese radars actually detected the missile upon launch and they already prepped their SAMs to intercept, but calmed down after five second once seeing that it crashed into one of Taiwan's own ships.
>>30476132
US wouldn't sell Taiwan F-35.
>fire anti ship missile
>accidently a tiny fishing boat
Goddamn that's some accurate shit

This movie is fucking hilarious from first to last second
Was the fishing boat actually targeted in the simulation or did they just happen to be in the wrong area at the wrong time and the terminal guidance picked it up?
Also do those boats actually have a radar capable of designating the missile or does another platform hand off the designation to them?
>>30476132
That's actually way more than I thought Taiwan had. I was expecting 100 F5s at best.
>>30476145
Taiwan can't afford that.
>>30474391
Am I the only one who raised an eyebrow at the mention of "carbon fibre" (cf) being used on a fishing boat!??, having been around plenty of fishing boats in my time I don't think I've ever seen CF used on one, I've seen steel, wood and glass fibre used many times but never CF !?
>>30475448
And they still shit in the streets!
>>30474391

>>30474391
Fishing boat made out of carbon fiber? Must be a pretty well off fisherman
Also only one killed?
>>30475890

>>30475758
Are those little doors for the exhaust from the box launchers to go through?
Does it have four sets of box launchers?
What the fuck, why not just VLS tubes at that point
>>30476132
Considering Taiwan is less than 1% the size of California, that's a significant air force build up. It wouldn't have parity with Chinese air power in the theater, but China only has 700 4th gen fighters in inventory. F16s and mirage fighters would hold their own for a while.
And the fuckton of missile boats hunting transport craft and China's shit tier green water coastal defense craft would give the PLN a black eye before the 7th fleet kicks off WWIII by sinking the entire chinese navy in retaliation
>>30479360
Chinese would shut down Taiwanese airbases with their 1500+ ballistic missiles before any air-campaign. Only a fraction of Taiwan's airforce would survive. And those that survive will be mopped up with one or two J-11B/J-10A regiments alone.
>>30480573
If they wasted that amount of ordinance they'd be septuple fucked when the 7th fleet sinks everything with a PLN flag instead of only quintuple fucked.
>Taiwan is American clay
>>30474573
I like the way that man thinks.
>>30474391
I thought no knock raids were bad enough.
>>30480845
Not really, The 7th and 3rd fleet wont even arrive, before at least 3 divisions worth of PLA troops land on Taiwan.
The strait is only some 200km and the PLA's amphibious capability are more than sufficient to land that many troops on Taiwan..
>>30474488
It was towards China dumbass.
>>30474740
>"Taiwanese" people
What?
>>30478988
>hit a taiwanese fishing boat

>>30482054
Kek
>>30474718
>>30481878
Hence the assload of missile boats to murder you slant eyed fucks before you get to the good slant eyed fucks.
Also the idea that China would move and commit most of their fighter fleet to establish total air superiority over Taiwan's ~70 odd F16s knowing that two carrier battle groups are about to fuck up their shit is laughable. They need those where they are to keep the Indians from saber rattling at them harder anyway.
But
>Implying China will start WWIII/ lose out on best and greatest economic frenemy USA's desire for globalism by taking a small ass island that offers no strategic or economic value but will give the PLA and PLN a black eye militarily before you take the new Jersey sized country and uniformly lower China's standing in the world.

That the Taiwan Navy did NOT detect trespassers in the exclusion zone is another fail.
>"carbon fiber" fishing boat?
That's just pure bullshit.
Something is off about this whole story.
Picture of the result, warhead was live but not armed and didn't explode. Probably explains the other three survivors.

I'm going to assume carbon fibre was a translation error and they meant fibreglass.
Who the fuck builds fishing boats out of carbon fiber?
>>30482996
Maybe Taiwan could.
>>30474391
it was probably a PRC spy anyway
>>30482996
Probably meant glass fibres.
>>30482972
>>30482907
>>30475812
It's designed to detonate after initial penetration through the warship's armored hull, as you would expect any anti-ship missiles to do. In this case it didn't detonate simply because over-penetrated the fishing boat's paper thin wheelhouse walls.
