〔記者方瑋立/台北報導〕空軍以「鳳翔專案」為代號,斥資2472億餘元向美採購66架全新F-16V(BLK 70)戰機,第二批3架新機確定於明(8)日飛抵台東志航基地。空軍今(7)日已向媒體發出通知,民眾屆時將可見證戰機落地畫面。
空軍今天已向媒體發出通知。據研判,若無天候等不可抗力因素,新機可望於中午左右降落志航基地。首批2架F-16V返台時,即是10月2日上午8時許自關島升空,飛行約4小時後於中午12時許落地。此前,國防部長顧立雄昨受訪證實,第二批戰機近期就會抵台。
據悉,第二批3架戰機均為單座機,國軍機號分別為6729、6731及6732。該批戰機日前自美國洛馬公司南卡羅來納州格林維爾廠出廠、轉場德州沃斯堡後,於美國時間4日編隊升空,在美軍加油機伴隨支援下飛抵夏威夷珍珠港—希卡姆聯合基地進行檢整。
空軍原規劃66架於今年底前全數交付,但受洛馬公司產線搬遷重啟及疫情衝擊、供應鏈中斷等因素影響,交機進度整體落後。

my country's first electromagnetic catapult amphibious assault ship Sichuan has made new progress recently. It successfully took off and landed the stealth drone "Attack-21" for the first time. It marks that the People's Navy has the ability to take off and land fixed-wing stealth drones on large maritime combat platforms.

The Air Force has invested in purchasing 66 F-16V (BLK 70) fighter jets, and the second batch of three new jets is scheduled to arrive at Taitung Zhihang Base tomorrow (8th). Defense Minister Gu Lixiong recently confirmed this.

Air Force Air Defense and Missile Commander Lieutenant General Liu Xiaotang will retire at the end of November. The Air Defense Department is responsible for more than 1,000 strategic weapons including Patriot, Tiangong and Xiongsheng missiles across Taiwan. Major General Tang Zhiyao, a native of Tainan and former deputy commander of the Air Defense Department, is the most optimistic person within the Air Force to take over. Tang Zhiyao has a comprehensive background in frontline operations, army planning and strategic intelligence. He once led the F-16V procurement project and served as the deputy commander of the Air Defense Department for more than 2 years. He is highly familiar with air defense missile deployment and Taiwan-US collaborative training.

In the "Sinking Exercise 26" of the Spanish Navy in early November 2026, the S-80 Plus-class submarine "Issac Peral" launched the German-made DM2A4 "Sea Cod" heavy-duty torpedo, which accurately hit and sank the retired patrol ship "Princess Elena" with one shot. The torpedo uses electric propulsion and optical fiber wire guidance technology, with a range of up to 144 kilometers. The warhead carries 260 kilograms of high-performance plastic explosives. Spain plans to purchase two more S-80 Block 2 submarines from 2029 to expand its underwater fleet from four to six.

The U.S. Marine Corps purchased two RIPSAW M3 tracked unmanned combat vehicles from Howe & Howe, a subsidiary of Textron Systems, and handed them over to the Marine Corps Combat Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, for testing to evaluate sensor, communication and multi-purpose payload integration capabilities as a basis for the development of future unmanned ground combat systems.

The U.S. Air Force F-15EX fighter jet carried conformal fuel tanks for the first time to perform a flight mission. It was operated by the 142nd Wing of the Oregon Air Militia at Portland International Airport. The conformable fuel tank can increase the range and weapon mounting points, showing that the US military has expanded the F-15EX mission from air superiority and homeland defense to long-range ground strike to meet the needs of Pacific operations. The Air Force's 2027 fiscal year budget has required all 24 F-15EXs in the eighth batch to be equipped with conformal fuel tanks, and plans to expand the procurement scale from 129 to 267.
