Taiwan military scholars said that the Taiwan government's newly purchased F-16 fighter tracking and searching system can effectively detect the F-20 fighter in mainland China.
According to the Taiwan Liberty Times, 66 F-16V fighters purchased from the United States are expected to pass the aircraft at the end of 2026, and the local time on Wednesday (August 23) announced on Wednesday (August 23)The search system (IRST), Taiwan military scholar Shu Xiaohuang analyzed that the radar system of the fighter aircraft is becoming more and more difficult to detect hiding fighters such as the J-20 of Mainland China.Targets such as fighters, small drones.
F-16V fighters If the plug-in infrared tracking detection system, the farthest can be found to be reclaimed at 150 miles away. In addition to the missiles that can be mounted on the machine, the data can also be transmitted toIn the system of the system, the wingman will attack the enemy aircraft through the data obtained. Taiwan's existing upgrade F-16V can theoretically be able to hang this system.
Shu Xiaohuang, an associate researcher at the Taiwan National Defense Court, said in an interview that radar is not easy to detect hiding fighters, but even hiding fighters will generate heat sources due to skin frictional air during flight, and the engine operation will have heat sources.Therefore, you can use infrared rays to search and track.
Zhang Yanting, deputy commander of Taiwan ’s former Air Force, said in an interview that the U.S. military sales of the above equipment allowed the Taiwan Air Force to upgrade the combat power.The gap between the Air Force fighter and the mainland's emerging fighters is very important.
Zhang Yanting pointed out that if the mainland China attacks Taiwan and land on the battlefield, it is necessary to control the advantages of the sea and air. To make the mainland unable to land in Taiwan, it is necessary to strengthen Taiwan's air defense, because once the air control is lost, the Taiwan -Pengfeng defense operation will be in the disadvantage of beating the disadvantages of beating.This is the purpose of the US military sales to strengthen Taiwan ’s air defense.
Shu Xiaohuang said that most Russian fighters are mostly equipped with infrared tracking detection systems in the body. Most of the US fighter aircraft are not equipped.The test has not been fully distributed to the troops. The Taiwan Army obtained this equipment this time, which is equivalent to the latest equipment from the US military.
