台灣首批2架F-16 BLK70戰機今日抵達台東志航基地,但配套的AGM-154C JSOW滑翔炸彈因美方生產線延遲尚未到貨,預估將延後至2027年至2028年交付,影響新機初始對地打擊能力。

〔記者羅添斌/台北報導〕眾所矚目的首批2架全新 F-16 BLK70 型戰機,今天(2日)上午將飛抵台東志航基地,正式加入空軍序列。這批新戰機不僅機體與雷達性能大幅升級,它所搭配的各型強大飛彈更成為全場焦點。不過根據軍方與國防專家最新盤點,這次配套爭取的4項核心配套飛彈中,目前呈現「3缺1」的狀態,並未全數到貨,其中最受關注的對地大殺器更面臨美方產線延宕的挑戰。
國防專家指出,這一次美方為 F-16 BLK70 配置的武器系統非常全面,主要涵蓋4大品項。首先是負責遠距離空戰的 AIM-120C-8 中程空對空飛彈,總共採購了200枚,因為具備最新的高性能晶片與抗干擾演算法,目前正在分批交運中,是台灣未來維持海峽制空權的絕對主力。第二款則是負責近距離纏鬥的 AIM-9X 短程空對空飛彈,這款具備大角度偏軸發射能力的飛彈,首批已經跟著新機同步到位,只要飛行員配合聯合頭盔瞄準系統,就能做到「看到哪、打到哪」的強大威力。

至於對地與壓制防空部分,第三款是專門用來摧毀敵軍地面與艦載雷達的 AGM-88 高速反輻射飛彈,這項裝備目前已經全數部署完畢,能有效癱瘓對岸的防空網。然而最遺憾的是第四款、也是這批武器中威力最強、具備遠距遙攻能力的 AGM-154C 聯合遙攻武器(JSOW)滑翔炸彈。這款被譽為源頭打擊大殺器的對地精準武器,因為受到美方生產線延遲的影響,目前「確定尚未到貨」,預估最快要延後到2027年至2028年之間才有可能交付台灣。
雖然主要的防空制空飛彈和反雷達飛彈已經分批到位,讓這2架剛落地的戰機具備了基本的即戰力,但關鍵的長程對地痛擊武器未能同步抵台,難免讓新機的初始戰力打了一點折扣。後續還有64架新機以及龐大的彈藥需要接收,如何催促美方軟硬體及配套彈藥「同步到位」,將是國防部接下來要加緊盤點與爭取的重中之重。

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.

The first two of the 66 F-16V Block 70 fighter jets purchased by my country from the United States landed at Taitung Zhihang Base at noon today. Su Ziyun of the National Defense and Security Research Institute pointed out that the delay is mainly due to technical problems and supply chain impacts. The US policy towards Taiwan has not changed, but Taiwan still needs to accelerate its national defense independence. Future military planning can develop towards the "June 4 ratio" of domestic production and outsourcing.

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.
