〔記者陳治程/台北報導〕我國向美採購66架F-16C/D Block70戰機,首批二架6727、6728今早確定會飛返台東,降落空軍志航基地,這也是空軍時隔29年再迎F-16新機越洋飛交,未來將隸屬七聯隊肩負東台灣空防。顧立雄表示,這兩架新機飛返台灣只是開始,「年底前不會只交2架」;且電戰系統持續進行軟硬體測試,「配重塊」純屬謠傳。
立法院今(2)日舉行院會,邀請行政院長卓榮泰出席進行新會期施政總報告,並備質詢;國防部長顧立雄會前接受媒體聯訪。空軍昨(1)證實,我國向美採購66架F-16C/D Block 70型機,首批二架6727、6728號機今日上午將飛返台東,而新機未來也將隸屬志航基地的空軍七聯隊,擔綱東台灣空防核心。

媒體關注後續新機交付情形,詢問剩餘64架新機是否能於後(2028)年前交畢?國防部長顧立雄回應,「今年底前不會只交2架」,且後續新機都陸續在生產線上組裝,因此,交機期程會再與美方專案辦公室協調;至於戰略部署,顧強調,東部地區固然是重要的「戰力保存」據點,但相關進一步細節不便再透露。
外傳我國新購F-16戰機電戰系統尚未安裝,機體內部現暫以「配重塊」代替,顧立雄駁斥「沒有配重塊」,是外界的錯誤揣測。顧立雄透露,這部分目前已由相關單位展開系統的軟、硬體測試,還要確認與戰機的新構型相配,應該很快會有相關結果,強調「現在都依照管制的節點在進行」。

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.

The domestically built submarine Haikun (hull number SS-711) has entered the final stage of testing and will be tested at sea every week to ensure delivery before the end of the year. Although tactical verification is still required after the ship is delivered, Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, pointed out that many weapons will be delivered to the Chinese people before the end of the year, and the national military's combat power will grow rapidly, but it may take more than a year to establish a complete underwater combat capability.
