Deutsche Press August 4, 1998

TAIPEI - Taiwan has successfully tested an anti-tactical ballistic missile (ATBM) that will enable it to better fend off missile attacks from China, a Taiwan newspaper said Monday. The military Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology carried out two tests at the Chiupeng Missile Test Base in Pingtung, in southeast Taiwan, the China Times said. The tests were conducted on July 15 and 20 respectively. Flying at the speed of Mach 4, the two missiles reportedly blocked incoming target missiles.
