Hsiung Feng II

The Hsiung Feng II (HF-2) (雄風二號, "Brave Wind II") is an anti-ship missile system developed by the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology in Taiwan ROC. The HF-2 is designed to be deployed aboard ships or at land-based facilities, an airborne version has also been developed which can be carried by the ROC Air Force's F-CK fighters. The HF-2 has ECCM capibilities and is known to be deployed on the ROC Navy's Perry class frigates (though they are currently being replaced by the AGM-84 Harpoon), and at several land based sites. There is speculation that HF-2 may be redesigned for use as a land attack cruise missile. In 2001 a land attack cruise missile varient known as the HF-2E was announced, with a range of 1000 km.
