Hsiung Feng III

Hsiung Feng III

The Hsiung Feng III (HF-3) (雄風三型, "Brave Wind III") is the third in the Hsiung Feng series of anti-ship missiles developed by the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) in Taiwan. Very little is known about the HF-3, except that it is a Mach 2 class supersonic anti-ship missile designed to target People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) surface vessels, including its Sovremenny class destroyers and its new aircraft carrier. It has been speculated that the anti-ship variant is designed to outperform the Russian-made Sunburn anti-ship missile possessed by the PLAN.
