我國於2019年宣布購買66架F-16V Block 70戰機,原定2024年開始交機,但受疫情、供應鏈問題及生產線遷移影響延遲。首批2架曾滯留夏威夷逾一個月,今日終於抵達台東志航基地。

〔記者方瑋立/台北報導〕我國向美採購的66架F-16V Block 70戰機,首批2架今(2)日預計中午降落台東志航基地。國防安全研究院國防戰略與資源研究所長蘇紫雲受訪表示,新機抵台具有很高的象徵意義,先前滯留夏威夷主要應是技術問題;戰略層面上,美國對台政策沒有改變,部分裝備也仍優先供應台灣。但他強調,國際情勢瞬息萬變,台灣仍要加速國防自主,未來兵力規劃可朝國造與外購「六四比」發展。
首批2架新機8月飛抵夏威夷後滯留逾1個月,外界說法不一,包括發現小問題、須等洛克希德馬丁(洛馬)原廠人員赴夏威夷調校,以及天候不佳等,也有人揣測與川習會有關。蘇紫雲今天受訪認為,技術問題的可能性較高,目前那些小問題應已調校完畢。
他指出,另一個可能原因是美國總統川普當時表示要對伊朗動手,許多空中加油機因此調往中東待命支援,也可能造成F-16延後抵台。如今新機一如先前預估在國慶日前抵台,他也希望後續交機順利。
戰略層面上,蘇紫雲指出,外界先前擔憂川習會影響美國對台政策,但美國駐中國大使龐德偉(David Perdue),甚至聯邦眾議院議長強森(Mike Johnson)都已表示,美國對台政策沒有改變,這個大方向可以肯定。
至於對台軍售何時宣布,他說,川普今年2月簽署第14383號行政命令,以美國需求為優先,確實會成為技術上的變數;但美國國防安全合作署(DSCA)署長米勒(Michael Miller)今年3月在國會聽證會上公開表示,台灣在部分武器享有優先權,例如魚叉飛彈的優先順序就高於沙烏地阿拉伯,這也符合該行政命令。他舉例,F-16交機的優先權同樣提高,保加利亞採購的第二批F-16交機時程就延後到2030年。
蘇紫雲也指出,F-16V Block 70購案確實延宕約2年。該案於2019年川普第一任期宣布對台出售,2020年以「鳳翔專案」編列特別預算,原定2024年開始交機、2026年全數交付,但受疫情衝擊供應鏈,以及產線由德州沃斯堡遷至南卡羅萊納州格林維爾等因素影響而延後。
美方也對此做出補償,蘇紫雲指出,洛馬已加班生產,並將台灣的優先權往前提;他並引述國防部長顧立雄的說法指出,美方可能提供3種非現金補償,包括延長保固,「跟車子一樣,2年10萬公里變成5年20萬公里」,增加備份零組件,以及擴大後勤支援與升級服務。
蘇紫雲認為,這2年仍在國軍預劃的緩衝期內,「軍購不像得來速或買漢堡」,國軍採取「十年建軍構想、五年兵力整建計畫」規劃兵力,中間都保有彈性,延宕倒不是大問題。
但他強調,台灣仍要加速國防自主。他說,國際情勢瞬息萬變,美國對台政策雖然穩固,但難保不會出現其他戰術層面的突發狀況,必須提前防範;台灣的國防自主已有一定基礎,未來兵力整建可以採取「六四比」,也就是6成以上由台灣自行研發生產、4成對外採購,「我想這樣會更健康」。
至於F-16在台維修中心(MRO),蘇紫雲說,那是提升在台保修能量,屬於維修與保養層面;國防自主談的是未來兵力規劃,可以採取「六四比」,也就是6成以上由台灣自行研發生產、4成對外採購,「我想這樣會更健康」。
對於無人機與傳統載台的取捨,蘇紫雲認為這是戰力組合問題,兩者並非「零與一」的相互取代。他說明,軍艦與軍機在承平時期負責常態巡邏及應對灰色地帶侵擾,無人機則是戰時的打擊利器;平時很難用無人小艇攔截中國海警船或大型軍艦,仍須依靠傳統載台。
空中也是如此,蘇紫雲說,中共殲-16巡航時速達900多公里,無人機時速通常只有200至400公里,除非是大型噴射無人機,否則跟不上一般載台的巡航速度。無人僚機同樣要到戰時才能發揮最大作用,平時不可能擊落靠近台灣的中國軍機,仍要靠傳統載台升空監控。
他也肯定中科院已開始自行研發無人僚機,認為是好的開始,希望社會與政府的支持能加速推動。

Taiwan's first batch of two F-16 Block70 fighter jets successfully landed at Taitung Zhihang Base today. This type of fighter has the so-called "beast mode" and can carry up to 10 anti-aircraft missiles or perform anti-ship, suppressive air defense and air combat missions at the same time. Retired generals pointed out that its design frees up wing mounting space and can exert saturation firepower advantages without relying on stealth, making it suitable for Taiwan Strait defense.

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Chen Guanting said that the first batch of new F-16V fighter jets will soon arrive in Taiwan and be installed, which will inject direct and positive substantive combat power into Taiwan's air defense. He pointed out that in the face of changes in the regional situation, only solid advancement of national defense independence and armament acquisition are the most powerful guarantees for ensuring national security. He also emphasized that the United States has institutional commitment to supporting Taiwan's arms sales and will not change due to the Trump-Xi meeting. He called on the opposition parties to support additional defense budgets and accelerate the construction of asymmetric combat capabilities to deal with China's technological advantages in the field of unmanned vehicles.

Taiwan's first batch of two new F-16 BLK70 fighter jets landed at Taitung Zhihang Base today, marking the Air Force's entry into a new era. Officials pointed out that although neighboring countries already have F-35 fifth-generation aircraft, Taiwan will have 205 F-16V-class fighters in the future. In the Taiwan Strait defensive war, it has four unique advantages: quantity and battle damage tolerance, local independent logistics and maintenance centers, large-capacity beast mode plug-in strike power, and fifth-generation aircraft-level avionics combined with the island's geographical location.

On the eve of the National Day of the Republic of China, the army, navy and air force conducted a full-strength aerial rehearsal in the early morning of the 2nd, including Mirage 2000-5, IDF, F-16V fighter jets, P-3C anti-submarine aircraft, C-130 transport aircraft and multiple types of helicopters flying over the Presidential Palace in sequence. Finally, the Brave Eagle high-education aircraft burst into the field from behind the Presidential Palace, ending the mission.

Defense Minister Gu Lixiong said that the first two of the 66 F-16C/D Block70 fighter jets purchased by my country from the United States have been confirmed to fly back to Taitung. Not only will the two be delivered before the end of the year, but the electronic warfare system is also undergoing software and hardware testing, denying the so-called "counterweight" rumors. The new aircraft will be affiliated to the Seventh Wing of the Air Force and will be responsible for the air defense of eastern Taiwan.

The domestically built submarine Haikun (hull number SS-711) has entered the final stage of testing and will be tested at sea every week to ensure delivery before the end of the year. Although tactical verification is still required after the ship is delivered, Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, pointed out that many weapons will be delivered to the Chinese people before the end of the year, and the national military's combat power will grow rapidly, but it may take more than a year to establish a complete underwater combat capability.
