As tensions rise across the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan is quietly preparing to fight back with a cruise missile built to swarm, survive, and sink ships. Meet the Barracuda-500: a low-cost, long-range strike weapon by U.S. defense tech firm Anduril that will be built domestically on Taiwan.
In this episode, we break down why Taiwan is betting big on mass-produced precision, how the Barracuda 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.
