What policies should be considered to address the potential risks associated with containerized missiles?

In any war over Taiwan, American commanders will face a problem that barely existed a decade ago: China can hide lethal military systems inside standard commercial shipping containers. These “containerized” missile launchers are modern renditions of an old U.S. Navy concept first marketed in the Russian Club-K and are now reportedly fielded in Chinese variants. They ride on the decks of merchant ships, blend into global commerce, and give Beijing the ability to forward-deploy precision weapons without visibly deploying a single warship.For U.S. planners, the threat is not hypothetical. It is a feature of modern conflict in the Indo-Pacific. Tens The post Containing the Threat of Containerized Missiles appeared first on War on the Rocks
