Concerns arise after theodolites used with Hsiung Feng III were sent to China for repairs by Leica Geosystems 

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Concerns have been voiced by Taiwanese media that information could have been leaked after devices used with Taiwan's "Carrier Killer" missiles were sent to China for repairs. 

Amid growing Chinese military threat, Taiwan's National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) has developed the Hsiung-Feng III (雄風三型) anti-ship missile, which has been nicknamed the "Carrier Killer" due to its supersonic speed, range of up to 400 km, and 225 kg warhead.

They will do what Europeans did to Iraqi air defence systems in the late 80s. Plant a virus and flick a switch in time of conflict .
