烏克蘭自俄羅斯全面入侵以來,持續從歐洲盟國接收F-16戰機用於防空作戰。目前操作的多為數十年前生產的F-16AM/BM中期性能提升型,缺乏最新雷達與電子作戰設備。

〔記者吳哲宇/綜合報導〕烏克蘭F-16戰機持續在防空作戰中發揮重要作用,烏克蘭官員透露,F-16機隊至今已累計擊落4700架俄羅斯單程攻擊無人機,光是10月就擊落1100架,甚至能有效攔截時速達400公里的噴射動力無人機。不過,隨著俄軍持續擴大空襲規模,烏軍也面臨嚴重的戰機零件及空對空飛彈短缺問題,甚至約有半數F-16必須在歐洲接受維修,影響整體戰力維持。
軍聞網站《Air & Space Forces Magazine》報導,烏克蘭駐美臨時代辦謝尼克(Denys Sienik)5日在國防記者團活動中表示,F-16無論在前線或國土防衛任務上,都展現極高效益,尤其對於俄軍使用的高速噴射動力無人機,具備重要攔截能力。
目前烏軍操作的F-16主要由歐洲盟國提供,屬於數十年前生產的F-16AM/BM中期性能提升型(MLU),雖經過部分升級,但仍缺乏APG-83主動電子掃描陣列雷達、先進數據鏈及新型電子作戰設備,整體性能與最新型F-16仍有差距。
烏克蘭政府指出,F-16累計擊落4700架俄軍單程攻擊無人機,其中1100架是在10月完成。由於空對空飛彈價格昂貴且庫存不足,烏軍飛行員主要使用機上的20公厘「火神」機砲進行攔截,其他型號戰機也開始嘗試以機砲擊落無人機。
然而,戰機維修已成為另一項重大挑戰。烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基指出,任何時間約有一半F-16正在歐洲進行維修或保養。謝尼克坦言,部分戰機因缺乏零組件而停飛,目前已與製造商洛克希德馬丁討論,強調取得備用零件與增加戰機數量同樣重要。
烏克蘭也希望進一步取得最新F-16 Block 70/72戰機,強化雷達、航電及電子作戰能力,但相關軍售仍須獲得美國川普政府批准。謝尼克指出,資金並非唯一障礙,盟國有能力協助籌措經費,關鍵在於美方政治決定。
此外,丹麥近期已援助烏克蘭超過5萬發20公厘機砲彈藥,但隨著冬季逼近,俄軍持續增加無人機及飛彈攻擊,相關援助恐怕只能暫時緩解彈藥需求。
美國退役空軍中將德普圖拉(David A. Deptula)分析,烏軍同時面臨螺旋槳與噴射動力無人機、巡弋飛彈、俄軍戰機及長程防空系統等複合威脅,未來除了增加F-16、幻象2000及獅鷲戰機,更需要空中預警機、低成本攔截武器及完整指揮管制體系,才能建立可長期維持的現代化空軍。

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.

The Russian Ministry of Defense released a video showing Mi-28NM attack helicopters launching suspected S8000 "Banderol" or Dan-T cruise missiles during operations in Ukraine. The two weapons are said to have a range of about 500 kilometers, far exceeding traditional helicopter missiles. It shows that the Russian military is trying to transform attack helicopters into long-range standoff strike platforms.

The U.S. State Department approved the sale of 11 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and related military equipment to Mexico on November 6, 2026. The total value of the arms sales reached US$1.075 billion (approximately NT$34.4 billion), aiming to improve Mexico's air transportation and combat cross-border crime capabilities, and replace Russian-made helicopters that are difficult to maintain due to Russia-Ukraine war sanctions.

The Ministry of National Defense stated that from 6 a.m. yesterday (6th) to 6 a.m. today, 11 Chinese military aircraft, 10 warships and 3 official ships were detected operating around the Taiwan Strait. Among them, 9 military aircraft crossed the central line of the Taiwan Strait and entered the northern and southwestern airspace. The Chinese military uses mission aircraft, ships and shore-based missile systems to closely monitor and respond.

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.

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.
