Taiwan is on course to deploy the Tien Chien II surface-to-air missile on Taiwan’s Lafayette-class frigates, Deputy Minister of National Defense Kao Tien-chung said.

Lawmaker Lin Yu-fang suggested that the Chaparral be transferred to Taiping Island in South China Sea to boost the island’s defenses.
