XASM-3 is air lunched.
Moskit looks bigger and heavier and it is a hypersonic missile, but they do look very similar.Taiwan missile looks like a Moskit cruise missile.
This must have been tested by Japan,Taiwan and USA long ago. Taiwan was just waiting for the special occasion of the Chinese carrier sea trial to come out with the news.I'd wait for test results before declaring it super super carrier killer even though it is based on tested platform of KH-31.
right now only static display, but SU 30 are modified for super SU 30 for Brahmos missile, test will take place soon, after getting back SU 30 from russia (they are gone for structure modification for brahmos).Saya the Bramos in that pic is only for studying aerodynamics or does it work?
Taiwan's carrier killer is a CRUISE missile IMO. The Chinese carrier killer claimed to be a ballistic missile. Ballistic missiles do not fly low and go in the upper atmosphere and the CEP is usually very poor to accurately hit a carrier in the open ocean hundreds of kilometers away.Sorry for being a devil's advocate
But when China tested their 'carrier-killers', most people here believed that carrier killers are not a game changer and they won't have that much impact in a large scale war. So why are we giving so much importance to Taiwanese carrier killers?
US is setting up a new naval base in Singapore, China is surrounded in every direction.this will put more stress on PLA, PLAAF, PLAN and either they will enhance spending or will divert forces from indian border. seeing the growing tension between china and many of its neighbors china will soon spend too much to handle cuz with every induction their comes a hefty price of refit and maintenance
As LF sir mentioned its like traditional Missiles like Brahmos and KH-41, But Chinese test was on static target in gobi desert..Sorry for being a devil's advocate

The disclosure came during a preshow media tour of the biennial Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition (TADTE). Journalists inspecting the Hsiung Feng 3 were shocked to see a large mural of the Varyag being attacked by three Hsiung Feng 3 missiles. Two of the missiles impact the carrier's starboard bow and starboard quarter, with a third missile is en route to the ship.
