As reported by the Liberty Times on April 4, 2025, the Taiwanese Navy deployed Hsiung Feng II (HF-2) and Hsiung Feng III (HF-3) anti-ship missiles to multiple locations across the Hengchun Peninsula in southern Taiwan. This action followed a significant multi-service military exercise east of Taiwan, designated Strait Thunder 2025A, conducted by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command.
