US Gov will not sell dual engines airfighters to Taiwan since 1970 until today. No F4, No F15, No F18, No F35. Only sold F-5E and F-16 A/B block 20 and coming F-16 C/D block 70.
@@Excoriar Please don't get brainwashed by the pro-RED, pro-Red_Blue, or pro-Red_white. Take e.g. F-16V Block70 that you bought is of good quality. ROCAF buys it as a package including weapons & training, so it is not at a premium. If you can recall, when US wanted to sell air tanker to Taiwan, but ROCAF is shortsighted to say no need, then regret now. The recent 140+ F-16 A/B upgrade to F-16 AM/BM. but never upgrade to the new & more powerful engine like the new 66 F-16V. ROCAF will regret it when all your older engines are using up 10 years later. ROCAF should consider F-18 E/F instead of F-15 EX, cos you have manpower shortage of fighter pilots. Moreover, the F-15 EX needs a pilot & a WSO. ROCAF don't have this structure yet.
@@Excoriar Don't get brainwashed by Pro-Red, Pro-Red_blue & Pro-Red_white. The F-16V Block 70 is of good quality, and it is bought as a package with spare parts, weapons & training, so is not at a premium. Why ROCAF is shortsighted, take example, years back when US wanted to sell KC-135 tankers to Taiwan, ROCAF said, NO Need, but regret it now. The 140+ F-16 A/B have been upgraded to F-16 AM/BM, but never upgrade to the newer & more powerful engine like your new 66 F-16V Block 70. This will be another case of ROCAF shortsightedness & poor budget planning in years to come when the older engines starts to run out. The F-18 E/F will be a more suitable option than the F-15 EX which needs a pilot & a WSO. ROCAF doesn't have the structure now, and is not in the pipeline yet.
The reply to you seems to disappear 2x already. Hope these are not the works of TVBS (Blue), Pro-Red, Pro-Red_Blue, Pro-Red_White .... by deleting unfavorable truth about them ...?! 😂 Will screenshot this time round 😅
Hope that Taiwan do not get brainwashed by the pro-red propaganda. The 66 F-16V Block70 that ROCAF bought are good quality. The pricing include spare parts, weapons & training. So it is not priced at a premium as the some pro-red media or people trying to portray...
@@kimi6232 They do not address too much on F-16 after year 2010 since they have F-16 C/D (year 1980s), F-15 (year 1990s) and F-35 A/B (year 2015 onwards). In terms of combat capabilities and overall performance are ahead of Taiwan F-16 A/B Block V, Mirage 2000 and IDF (I don't Fight) more than 30 years.
If the U.S. government allowed the "aerial refueling" AirCargo jets to be sold to the Taiwan Air Force, F-15/F-16 have the cababilities of cruise more than 17000 KM without stop. But the sales opportunity would be very slim. Taiwan has been begging for this technology since the 1980s until today, but to no available at all. Israel, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, as the U.S. government's first-tier allies, have obtained the "aerial refueling" AirCargo jets from Boeing and AirBus. However, Taiwan, a tier-4 alliance (a place not a country), has been left with nothing.
