Taiwan is unlikely to take delivery of the Harpoon Coastal Defense System in 2024 after the United States inform the island that Boeing can only start delivery of equipment in 2025, Up Media reported.
Last year, the United States sold 100 sets of my country's mobile shore-mounted Harpoon Missile System. It was reported that the delivery of equipment was delayed for one year and the price was increased. The picture shows the shore-mounted mobile harpoon anti-ship missile.

In 2020, the United States announced six arms sales to Taiwan with a total price of nearly NT$170 billion, of which the amount was up to 67.7 billion yuan, but it was the old 100 sets of mobile shore-mounted harpoon missile systems. Prepare a budget for procurement, and plan for the new bomb to return to Taiwan in 2024. It is pointed out that at the end of last year, the United States informed us that due to operational issues and other related issues, the delivery of other equipment will be delayed for one year until the end of 2025, and the delivery of new bombs will be delayed. In addition, the mobile shore-mounted harpoon missile system communications and other related equipment will be delayed. To join, so it is required that the total price of the arms sales case will be adjusted to increase the price. Regarding the request made by the United States, because it was a standard allowed by the arms sales case, the then Secretary of Defense Yan Defa was quite angry. He believed that the navy had not grasped the actual situation of the case. At present, the navy and the United States are still coordinating and communicating with the case.
At the end of October last year, the United States announced that the total price of arms sales to Taiwan was 2.37 billion U.S. dollars (about NT$67.7 billion), 100 sets of mobile shore-mounted Harpoon missile systems and 400 basic RGM-84L-4 Harpoon Block II missiles. The budget is limited. The Navy has allocated 51,159,19,000 yuan (approximately US$1.7 billion) in the "Swift Project" to purchase 100 shore-mounted Harpoon Missile System launch vehicles and 100 Harpoon Missiles in 5 years, and the rest 300 Harpoon missiles are purchased annually from the general weapons project budget.

It was pointed out that the mobile shore-mounted Harpoon Missile System took less than three months from the construction of the project to the completion of the overall plan and the budget. Moreover, the case is not in the naval planning and construction project at all, and even the Ministry of Defense is responsible for budget review. The Department of War Regulations was notified after the fact to review the allocation of the national defense budget for 2021. Therefore, the shore-mounted Harpoon Missile System is under the guidance of the National Security Council’s policy and requires the Navy to give priority to the mobile shore-mounted Harpoon Missile system. The squad lined up, and the outside world interpreted it as an arms sales case in which the United States had "struggled" to save Boeing's defense.
It is understood that when the Navy first communicated with the US, we proposed to purchase the RGM-84Q-4 Block II+ER extended-range harpoon missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers. The US only said that it would be considered, plus the project timetable. Urgent, so the proposal was built with an extended-range thinking; but in the end, the U.S. told that it could only sell general-type Harpoon missiles with a range of up to 148 kilometers, and the Navy could only follow the guidelines of the National Security Council and insist on purchasing this item. The list of cases did not raise too many objections.
Regarding the completion of the budget preparation for the case, Zhang Zhongcheng, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, responded to an inquiry in the Legislative Yuan that Yuji and Yusan are very mature bomb types. The former is subsonic and the latter is supersonic. The distance is slightly better than the harpoon, but because it is a towed vehicle, the maneuverability is slightly lower. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will cooperate with the policies of the Ministry of National Defense.

The Ministry of National Defense stated that it is based on a model simulation analysis that if we want to wipe out 50% of the enemy’s maritime targets, we must increase the number of its anti-ship missiles. However, the current Chinese Academy of Sciences’ production capacity is insufficient, and it is urgent to purchase mobile shore-mounted Harpoon missile systems . It is pointed out that the Navy’s "Swift Project" plans to complete 100 shore-mounted Harpoon Missile System launch vehicles and 100 Harpoon Missiles in 5 years. The original plan was that the United States will continue to deliver other equipment from 2023. Return to Taiwan to serve. However, the United States has informed the Navy that due to operational and technical issues, the relevant delivery schedule will be postponed by one to two years , that is, the budget for the "Swift Project" will be revised for five years . Schedule, and then re-set the budget allocation schedule, but such a change does not meet the previously mentioned purpose of urgent procurement .
It is understood that at the end of last year the U.S. also proposed to increase communications and other equipment and demanded a price increase. This move has made the then Secretary of Defense Yan Defa quite unhappy. He believes that the Navy’s insufficient planning and control of the entire case has caused the entire case to change again and again. The Navy continues to coordinate and communicate with the US, and with the replacement of the Secretary of Defense, it remains to be seen whether the new Secretary of Defense Qiu Guozheng has new guidance on this case.

Hundreds of shore-mounted harpoons are not suspected of being blocked by the US in the planning
At the end of October last year, the United States announced that the total price of arms sales to Taiwan was 2.37 billion U.S. dollars (about NT$67.7 billion), 100 sets of mobile shore-mounted Harpoon missile systems and 400 basic RGM-84L-4 Harpoon Block II missiles.

The navy wants to buy a 200km extended-range type and is shot into a general type
It is understood that when the Navy first communicated with the US, we proposed to purchase the RGM-84Q-4 Block II+ER extended-range harpoon missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers. The US only said that it would be considered, plus the project timetable.

Buy only when you need it urgently, now it's delayed and fast for 5 years, the budget is redesigned
The Ministry of National Defense stated that it is based on a model simulation analysis that if we want to wipe out 50% of the enemy’s maritime targets, we must increase the number of its anti-ship missiles. However, the current Chinese Academy of Sciences’ production capacity is insufficient, and it is urgent to purchase mobile shore-mounted Harpoon missile systems .
