Taking aim at the high seas: anti-ship missiles in the Asia-Pacific/ Guy Martin - 2023

The anti-ship missile is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to increase a navy's firepower, and consequently remains a key weapon in global navy arsenals. The Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing market for these weapons: China's increased pressure on Taiwan and exchanges of warning shots by North and South Korea's navies highlight ongoing maritime disputes in the region that are pushing broad naval modernisation. Anti-ship missiles are a vital component of this, with many regional nations investing heavily in domestically manufacturing these weapons.
