〔記者吳哲宇/台北報導〕法國持續擴大對烏克蘭的軍事援助,法國武裝部隊部長沃特蘭(Catherine Vautrin)近日在國會宣布,將從11月開始訓練烏克蘭飛行員操作「飆風」(Rafale)戰鬥機,為未來交付戰機提前做好準備。根據法烏雙方規劃,首批「飆風」戰機預計於2028至2029年投入烏克蘭服役,進一步強化烏軍空中作戰能力。
軍聞網站「Defense Blog」報導,沃特蘭在法國國會2027年度國防預算聽證會上表示,法國正持續與烏克蘭討論作戰航空合作,特別是「飆風」戰機相關計畫,首批烏克蘭飛行員將於11月展開訓練。烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基也在Telegram證實,已與法國總統馬克宏討論相關安排,認為這是烏克蘭空軍現代化的重要進展。

法國與烏克蘭今年7月達成合作路線圖,其中包括採購16架「飆風」戰機及配套武器系統。馬克宏當時指出,首批戰機預計2028年或2029年抵達烏克蘭。另一方面,烏克蘭去年11月也曾簽署意向書,提出最多採購100架「飆風」的長期規劃。
目前烏克蘭已從多個歐洲國家取得F-16戰機,法國也提供「幻象2000」(Mirage 2000)。此外,烏克蘭今年5月同意採購20架全新瑞典「獅鷲」(Gripen)戰機,瑞典另將捐贈16架舊型機,顯示烏軍正逐步建立多型西方戰機組成的空中戰力。
「飆風」由法國達梭航空(Dassault Aviation)研製,可搭載MBDA「流星」(Meteor)長程空對空飛彈,並配備泰雷斯(Thales)先進雷達及電子戰系統。其中F4.1升級標準已於2023年3月完成認證,進一步提升戰機感測及電子作戰能力。
除了戰機採購,法烏雙方也積極推動武器在地化生產。澤倫斯基表示,兩國正討論在烏克蘭生產法製飛彈及航空炸彈,沃特蘭則證實,相關飛彈的生產授權程序已經展開。
根據7月協議,烏克蘭還將採購首批SAMP/T NG新一代防空系統,並取得AASM Hammer精準炸彈套件、「紫苑30」(Aster 30)防空飛彈,以及SCALP/Storm Shadow「暴風之影」空射巡弋飛彈的在地生產授權。
烏克蘭目前已使用舊型SAMP/T防空系統及AASM「鐵鎚」(Hammer)精準炸彈,未來若能建立本土生產能力,將有助於降低對海外交付的依賴,並強化長期作戰補給能力。

China's new light rocket launch vehicle has been exposed, using the Dongfeng "Warrior" third-generation (MV3) tactical truck chassis. The rear of the vehicle is equipped with a box-type launch module that can load 20 122mm rockets, with a maximum range of 40 kilometers. Compared with the U.S.-made Haimas, this system has a smaller but larger number of rockets. It focuses on short-range firepower and mobility and is designed for airborne, air assault and light infantry units. The current information mainly comes from social images, and it has not been confirmed whether it has officially entered service.

After U.S. air strikes severely damaged Iran's radar and navy, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards sent unarmed personnel on small boats to identify merchant ships and U.S. warships in the Strait of Hormuz and serve as maritime observation posts. There have been at least five incidents involving oil tankers and commercial ships around the strait in the past 48 hours, including drone attacks. Top Iranian officials have warned that they may completely block the strait to prevent the United States from driving down global oil prices.

The Ministry of National Defense’s Information Security and Electronics Forces has newly established an Information Security Joint Defense Center, which is responsible for protecting the core systems and critical infrastructure of the national military. It will adopt proactive threat hunting strategies to combat covert penetration and supply chain attacks by the Chinese Communist Party’s cyber forces. It is expected to recruit 120 people next year, and the training will be based on the standards of the U.S. military’s network protection team.

The Japanese government is studying the inclusion of railways in the construction of supporting public infrastructure for defense, and plans to include it in the "Three Security Documents" revised at the end of the year to improve the material supply and equipment transportation channels for the Self-Defense Forces in emergencies and strengthen the ability to sustain continuous combat support. This move is regarded as a key step for Japan to break through the post-war "exclusive defense" principle and accelerate remilitarization, triggering regional security concerns.

The U.S. Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center successfully conducted a flight test of the Mk21A re-entry vehicle using a Minotaur I rocket at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The vehicle will be equipped with a W87-1 nuclear warhead and integrated into the new generation LGM-35 "Sentinel" intercontinental ballistic missile to replace the existing Minuteman III. The test did not carry a nuclear warhead, which is the first time it has been made public since June 2024. Lockheed Martin is responsible for development, Northrop Grumman provides the rocket, and the U.S. Space Force helps oversee it. As of November 2025, the project has received approximately US$1.449 billion in research and development funding, but the Sentinel missile project is still affected by rising costs and schedule delays, and has not yet passed Milestone B review. The U.S. Air Force plans to apply for a budget of US$540 million in fiscal year 2027 to support system integration and follow-up testing.

President Lai Ching-te pointed out in his National Day speech that the CCP poses a threat to the region. China criticized him for exaggerating the threat and said that increasing the defense budget would crowd out people's livelihood expenditures. Defense Minister Gu Lixiong responded that increasing the defense budget is a long-term and consistent approach to improving self-defense capabilities, generating effective deterrence, and maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He also emphasized that the relocation of Songshan Airport requires careful evaluation of its military function alternatives.
