Taiwan has launched an air-to-ground attack cruise missile developed by local sources.

Munitions developed by the National Chungshan Institute were also on display during Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's visit to Magong air force base on Penghu island.

The missile, which can only be used on Taiwan Air Force jets, has a range of about 200 km.

GPS-guided missiles are capable of hitting Chinese air bases, barracks and fortifications in Fujian and Guangdong provinces following its release from the Taiwan Strait. The cruise missile could also neutralize amphibious ships approaching Taiwan.

In the immediate aftermath of China's increased activity around Taiwan, Wan Chien cruise missiles were on display for the first time.
