B-21「突襲者」是美國空軍下一代匿襲轟炸機,由諾斯洛普.格魯曼研發,設計用於取代老化的B-1B與B-2機隊,並與升級中的B-52共同組成未來轟炸機三位一體。該機採用先進隱形技術,能夠滲透進複雜防空網執行遠程打擊任務。
美軍B-21「突襲者」匿襲轟炸機接受KC-135加油機空中加油測試;美軍已在加州帕姆代爾42號空軍廠區興建新的B-21總裝線,年產能目標提高25%。
〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕美國新一代B-21「突襲者」(B-21 Raider)匿襲轟炸機量產計畫再向前推進,美國空軍與諾斯洛普.格魯曼(Northrop Grumman)9月29日在加州帕姆代爾42號空軍廠區(Plant 42)動工興建新的最終總裝線,規劃新增逾9萬2900平方公尺設施,目標讓B-21年產能提高25%。
軍聞網站《Army Recognition》報導,美國空軍10月2日公布的資訊與現場照片顯示,這項工程已從先前的擴產規劃與資金投入進入實際施工階段,這座新總裝線目前尚未公布正式編號,將成為B-21提高生產速度的重要製造設施。

美國空軍與諾格今年2月已達成協議,動用45億美元國會授權經費擴大B-21生產能力,目標就是提高25%年產能。諾格也規劃在數年內投入約25億美元,擴充B-21相關製造設施與產能。
這次擴建的核心在於增加B-21最終組裝能力。B-21目前仍處於飛行測試與系統整合階段,新的生產設施則將讓美軍在未來交機速度提高時,有更大的製造空間。美國空軍目前規劃首批B-21於2027年進駐南達科他州埃爾斯沃思空軍基地(Ellsworth Air Force Base)。
擴產計畫正式進入施工階段
B-21的生產擴張也不只限於加州。諾格9月在猶他州萊頓(Layton)啟用新的製造設施,數座建築合計約7萬8500平方公尺,將支援新一代軍機製造及B-21擴產。不過,帕姆代爾新總裝線的動工,是目前B-21擴產計畫從資金與規劃正式進入實際施工階段的最新進展。
B-21預定成為美軍未來轟炸機部隊的核心機型之一,與持續升級的B-52並存服役,並逐步取代B-1B與B-2。隨著新總裝線開始興建,美國空軍與諾格正同步擴充製造能力,為提高B-21年產能預作準備。

The first batch of two F-16V BLK70 fighter jets of the Chinese Army arrived at Taitung Zhihang Base on the 2nd of this month, marking the first time in nearly 30 years that the country has received newly manufactured F-16 fighter jets. The Ministry of National Defense's budget document for next year shows that the Air Force plans to send two people to the United States for six days next year to participate in the F-16V combat support equipment, weapons and ammunition procurement project management meeting, with a funding of 313,000 yuan, to ensure that subsequent equipment delivery, integration, and weapons and ammunition are synchronized.

During the National Day holiday, a brigade of the Army's 72nd Group Army conducted combat readiness and plateau combat drills, a brigade of the 76th Group Army conducted multi-subject training in the hinterland of Karakoram, and border guards and armed police officers patrolled and guarded the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar Scenic Area and the Tibetan Himalayas to protect national security and people's tranquility with practical actions.

Taiwan’s first batch of two F-16V fighter jets arrived in Taiwan as part of the 66-fighter arms sale ordered during the Trump era. The delivery time was just after the end of Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States, highlighting the competition between China and the United States and Taiwan’s and the United States’ security commitments. It also triggered internal discussions on compensation for delayed delivery in Taiwan and criticism of political performances in Beijing’s official media.

Due to threats of terrorist attacks at Royal Air Force Base Fairford, the UK arrested a number of suspects suspected of having ties to Iran. Due to security concerns, the U.S. military has transferred more than a dozen B-1 bombers at the base back to the United States. Defense Department officials have confirmed this.

The U.S. Air Force has withdrawn all bombers based at Royal Air Force Base Fairford in the United Kingdom from the United States due to an investigation into a suspected terrorist attack plot at the base. Military observation groups pointed out that since the outbreak of the Iran conflict, B-52 and B-1 bombers have taken off many times to carry out missions.

The Army plans to commission the National Sun Yat-sen Institute of Science to build a dedicated testing facility for the Land-Shejian-2 missile, with a budget of more than NT$295 million, to cope with the Navy's tight testing resources and future procurement needs, achieve self-sufficiency in ammunition logistics, and improve combat flexibility and air defense capabilities.
