US Government ditched out Taiwan since year 1978 and downgraded Taiwan from a country to a place by "One China" policy until now and maybe forever. The rule of thumb of selling "Combat gears" and "Weapons" to comply with "Public Law 96-8" without caring which one is "Ruling Party" in Taiwan since year 1970s. Year 1972 - F-5E Year 1992 - F-16 A/B Block 20 Year 2019- F-16 C/D Block 70 Typical procurement cycle for approval : 20++ years. And more, Not allowed dual engines Air-fighters to Taiwan (No F-4, No F-18, No F-15, No prevailing Air-fighter F-35). Next round of selling air-fighter to Taiwan : Year 2039 to be expected. Hard rule is there which not able to violate it => One China Policy !!
@@Applapp388 Yes, One China Policy Upheld by USA, Japan, South Korea, UK, EU and NATO against Taiwan. Big "No No" to Taiwan to get any "ready made combat gears" which must comply with "US Gov Public Law 96-8 (or equivalent one)" with lengthy sales cycle about 20++ years to complete the military sales without "Gov-2-Gov" relationship against Taipei. **South Korea has to leverage on China Gov to lobby with the "Mad Dog - North Korea" to cool down the War happening in Korea peninsula. Japanese Gov has the same approach to liaise with China Gov to ease the situation in North East Asia tension. "Mad Dog" does not talk to USA, Japan and South Korea governments but Only China Government instead. Taiwan does not have any value for South Korea and Japan Government to cool down Korea Peninsula difficult situation but only China Government can do it there. Rule of thumb (hard rule) by US Gov against Taiwan as below: ==This sale is consistent with United States law and policy as expressed in Public Law 96-8. This proposed sale serves U.S. national, economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient’s continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and enhance its defensive capability. The proposed sale will help improve the security of the recipient and assist in maintaining political stability, military balance, and economic progress in the region.
Glad to know South Korea KAI KF-21 Boramae (Daewoo Heavy Industries, Hyundai Space and Aircraft, Samsung Aerospace )and K2 Black Panther Tank (Doosan Mottrol, Hyundai Rotem, Poongsan Corporation, Samsung Thales, Samyang Comtech, WIA) by its own combat algorithm, Samsung chipset and technology with the advanced collaboration efforts from UK/US/France and Germany. Instead of the cliche - TSMC basic chipset for nothing.
South Korea upheld One China policy against Taiwan and will not sell/export "ready made Combat gears" to Taiwan. SK has to leverage on China Gov to lobby with Mad Dog - North Korea Gov to cool down korean peninsula to avoid the war escalation. Taiwan does not have any value for SK to cool down mad dog at all.
South Korean Gov upheld One China Policy against Taiwan. The SK Gov-2-Gov relationship with China Gov is the first priority against Taiwan Non-Gov relationship there. Mad Dog - North Korea is the biggest threat in Korea peninsular there. Now only China Gov has the right protocol and channel to "lobby with" North Korea and South Korea to ease the tension there. Taiwan has no any value for South Korea and North Korea to act the same key function that China Gov can do!
大韓民國(Republic of Korea)居然能超越中共政權,成為世界第四大軍火出口強權!中華民國必須急起直追!中華民國萬萬不可永遠仰賴從美國等軍事強國進口先進武器及相關技術!長遠而言,中華民國必須建立完備的國防軍工體系,以及完整的航空暨航太工業系統,旨在臻兩大範疇百份百的國產化,甚至成為軍備出口大國兼航空暨航太的強國!
@@winnow568 / The kf21's range is 2900km, and in the case of Block 1, only air-to-air weapons can be mounted, so the combat action radius is about 850-900km. Block 2 is equipped with air-to-ground weapons, but since each mission is different, the combat action radius can vary greatly.
