DoD News Briefing
Mr. Kenneth H. Bacon, ASD (PA)
Thursday, January 16, 1997 - 2 p.m.
Q: On two matters concerning, potentially concerning Taiwan, one definitely concerning Taiwan. Journalistic sources in Taiwan have confirmed that there has been deployed the Skybo 2 and the Sunfang 2 missiles, which I assume are surface to air, but I'm not certain. This was reported here in papers last week and confirmed by the Taiwanese. Any comment as to what these missiles are intended to do in the defense of Taiwan? And are they destabilizing, aggravating the situation with mainland China?
A: I'm afraid I'm just not up on that topic, and rather than flail around up here, let me have Lieutenant Colonel Sivigny try to get you an answer.
Q: I've been trying to get answers, and others have too, with no success on this.
