Tsai Ing-wen had only appeared in the Air Force Chiayi Base for the first time on the F-16V fighter to make performance for the first time to make the significance. Yesterday, the US Times Magazine reported that the F-16V procurement case may be temporarily slow, and the news shocked Taiwan politics.Is the news true?If it is true, what impact is it?
Taiwan ’s subscriptions for 66 F-16V and 108 M1A2 tanks have completed the LOR for LOA stage.According to the US foreign military sales decree, the administrative department should respond to Congress within 120 days.Therefore, there is no such thing as a quotation request (LOR for PA) that can only make timeless time in Taiwan. As a result, it is not read.
As far as the practice is concerned, the case has reached the stage of the required letter of the price, and it means that both parties have already experienced consultation.Therefore, even if the military that has always been cautious and conservative has previously dared to have the news of the achievements of the release of the army to buy, it can be seen that it is not that the characters are not as good as the character.
At present, of the three main fighters of the Taiwan army, the performance can be regarded as the fourth-generation and a half generation (the previous generation non-hidden machine body, combined with some technology of the next generation of hiding fighters), only the F-16V after the improvement.
Faced with the Fifth-generation J-20, or the fourth-generation SU-35, J-10C, and the Taiwan phantom machine will be eliminated from 2027, it is difficult to obtain the F-35 in the short term., Buying a super F-16 is indeed the only feasible countermeasure.If the plan changes, the Ministry of National Defense will inevitably be full of disappointment of cooking ducks.
The scale of the United States has a large scale of Taiwan's military sales. Of course, the Trump administration's style of acting is the key factor.However, although the Trump administration does not avoid the taboos to use the Taiwan -based land recruitment, but once the trade disputes between the two strongs are resolved, the Taiwan who has previously been used as a catalyst is directly to the side.Don't avoid it.
Because of this, under the premise of the rise of Beijing and the continuous collision of the two major powers, even if the United States really suspends Taiwan's military sales this time, it does not mean that there is no chance from this;Taiwan army sale cards.
In the long run, the new weapon of the Taiwan Army has little chance of falling in place, but it is not impossible to delay temporarily.More importantly, political elites should be sober and must face reality: Compared to any US president in the past, Trump is never the Cross Army, and he definitely does not love Taiwan, and he even doesn't mind taking Taiwan chips.
