A defense official from Taiwan confirmed on April 19 that it is looking to acquire long-range, air-launched cruise missiles from the United States. The confirmation comes amid the island’s efforts to bolster its defenses in the face of increasing pressure from Beijing.
Article by Franz Walker from Natural News.
Taiwan is already developing its own long-range missiles as it seeks to gain the ability to strike back deep into China in the event of war. That said, it has also looked to the United States to help provide it with more advanced weaponry.
Talking to parliament about which weapons systems Taiwan wants to buy, Lee Shih-chiang, head of Taiwan’s defense ministry’s strategic planning department, named Lockheed Martin’s AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) as the missile Taiwan is looking to procure.
But whether it can purchase the missiles is up to the United States.
“We are still in the process of seeking it,” Lee said. “Communication channels are very smooth and normal.”
Taiwan seeking long-range missile that can hit far inside China
Taiwan’s armed forces are in the midst of a modernization program. The program is meant to turn it into a more effective deterrent against Chinese aggression. As part of this, the country is looking to gain the ability to hit back at bases far from China’s coast in the event that war breaks out. This is where the JASSM comes in.
The JASSM can have a range of up to 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), depending on the model. It can be deployed on various aircraft, including the Lockheed F-16 Fighting Falcon, which Taiwan operates.

According to Lockheed Martin, the missile is designed to destroy high-value, well-defended targets while having the range and accuracy to be launched far from enemy air defense systems.
The missile’s air-launched nature also falls within Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s desire to develop an “asymmetrical” deterrent. This involves using mobile equipment that’s not only capable of hitting targets far away from Taiwan, but is also hard to find and destroy.
The sale of the missiles still requires approval from the United States. That said, the latter has been eager to create a military counterbalance to Chinese forces. It has been building on an effort known within the Pentagon as “Fortress Taiwan.” (Related: U.S. Admiral expresses worry about communist China’s future invasion of Taiwan.)
China continues to view Taiwan as part of its territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring it under control. It has, as of late, stepped up military activity near the island in an effort to force the Taiwanese government to accept Beijing’s claims of sovereignty.
Taiwan also developing its own missiles
Even as it seeks to purchase the JASSM, Taiwan has also been hard at work developing missiles of its own. Last March, a senior official confirmed that it had begun mass production of its own missile.
Taking questions from Parliament, Leng Chin-hsu, deputy director of the state-owned National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology confirmed that one long-range, land-based missile has already entered into production while three other long-range missiles are in development. Leng refused to give details of the missiles’ range.
In recent months, the institute, which leads Taiwan’s weapons development efforts, has carried out a series of missile tests off its southeastern coast. Taiwanese media have published images of missiles launching and aircraft have been given instructions to stay clear of the test area. But details of the tests themselves remain undisclosed.

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder.

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:

- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
