美批准344億對墨軍售!賣11架黑鷹直升機全面升級反毒戰力

軍售案包含發動機、衛星通訊、夜視鏡等裝備,西科斯基飛機公司將執行合約

Quick Look

美國國務院於2026年11月6日批准向墨西哥出售11架UH-60M黑鷹直升機及相關軍事裝備,軍售總價值達10.75億美元(約台幣344億元),旨在提升墨西哥空中運輸與打擊跨境犯罪能力,並替換因俄烏戰爭制裁而難以維修的俄製直升機。

Why It Matters

墨西哥擁有拉丁美洲前3的軍用直升機隊,核心主力包括美國黑鷹、法國超級美洲豹以及部分俄製米爾系列重型運輸直升機。自俄烏戰爭爆發後,俄製直升機面臨零件短缺與維修困難。

〔記者羅添斌/台北報導〕美國國務院在2026年11月6日正式敲定一項大案子,批准向鄰國墨西哥出售11架UH-60M黑鷹直升機及相關的軍事裝備。這整筆潛在軍售案的總價值高達10.75億美元(約合台幣344億元)。美國政府這項大動作,最主要的目的是要幫墨西哥升級空中運輸和打擊跨境犯罪的能力,特別是針對猖獗的毒梟走私。

這次軍售案的內容非常豐富,除了11架全新的黑鷹直升機主體之外,還一口氣包辦了27具高規格發動機、先進的衛星通訊與GPS導航系統。為了讓直升機能在前線發揮最大威力,美方也附帶出售了機槍、夜視鏡、雷射標定電眼,甚至連防彈裝甲和特戰專用的快速繩降系統都準備好了。另外,主要合約將由知名軍火商洛克希德·馬丁旗下的西科斯基飛機公司執行。

其實墨西哥本身早就擁有一支規模不小的軍用直升機隊,在整個拉丁美洲更是排名前3的空中戰力。因為他們的軍事任務主要集中在國內反毒、維安和災害救援,所以非常仰賴通用直升機。目前墨西哥軍隊的核心主力除了美製的黑鷹直升機,還有法國空中巴士製造的超級美洲豹直升機,以及一部分過去向俄羅斯購買的米爾系列重型運輸直升機。

不過,自從俄烏戰爭爆發引發國際對俄羅斯實施嚴厲制裁後,墨西哥手上的俄製直升機開始面臨找不到零件、沒人能維修的窘境。這也是為什麼墨西哥這次急著向美國伸手,一口氣花費新台幣344億元添購新飛機。因為他們必須加快腳步,把這些快要動不了的俄製老舊機型全部汰換掉,讓整個國防機隊走向歐美化,才不會讓反毒戰力出現空窗期。

美國國務院對此表示,這項軍售案符合美國自身的政治與經濟利益,不僅能幫盟友建立現代化的防禦能力,也可以深化美墨兩國的戰略夥伴關係。美方在評估後也認為,這批黑鷹直升機的加入並不會打破周邊區域的軍事平衡。為了確保墨國軍警能無縫接軌,美方後續也會派駐15名專業代表前往墨西哥,提供開箱組裝、飛行訓練到後勤維修的「一條龍」技術支援。

Stealth air combat goes one step further! F-35B's built-in bomb bay releases "Meteor" long-range missile for the first time

The U.S. F-35B stealth fighter released the European Meteor long-range air-to-air missile from its internal bomb bay for the first time, completing a non-powered separation test. The test was conducted on October 7 at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, USA, and was flown by a British Royal Navy test pilot. The F-35 Joint Project Office released the images on November 5. Testing under different flight conditions will continue in the coming months, eventually entering live firing.

All 111 sets of Haimas will be in place by 2030, pushing forward the firepower from Penghu East to reach the mainland of China

The total number of M142 "Haimas" multiple launch rocket systems purchased by the Chinese military from the United States has increased to 111 sets, and it is expected that all of them will be in place from 2030. The military evaluates the forward deployment of some systems to Penghu and Dongyin, and uses them with ATACMS missiles with a range of 300 kilometers to establish cross-sea source anti-access strike capabilities and form a double-layer asymmetric fire network with the domestic Thunder 2000.

43 Artillery Finger Deployed Seamasters to engage the Philippine Army from the north and south. Not even a single ship of the Communist fleet could escape.

The 43rd artillery finger of the Eighth Army Corps of the National Army is equipped with the Haimas Multiple Launch Rocket System, equipped with ATACMS tactical missiles with a range of 300 kilometers, and its firepower covers the Bashi Channel. The U.S. military has deployed Seamasters on Ibayat Island and Balabac Island in the northernmost part of the Philippines, forming a north-south pincer attack with Taiwan's southern fire network. If the Communist fleet passes through the Bashi Strait, it will face dual ballistic missile threats from Taiwan's main island and the Philippines' outlying islands.
