Taiwan’s new fleet killing cruise missile

In this episode, we break down why Taiwan is betting big on mass‑produced precision, how the Barracuda‑500 flies and finds its targets, and what China is doing to stop it. From autonomy and electronic warfare to palletized launchers and rapid domestic production, this missile represents a whole new playbook for island defense. The episode begins with an intro (00:00‑01:08), followed by an ad read (01:08‑02:13). The main content covers what the Barracuda‑500 is (02:13‑05:12), how it hits targets (05:12‑07:56), why Taiwan chose it (07:56‑12:33), China’s countermeasures (12:33‑16:05), and ends with a channel update (16:05‑End).
