〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕台灣向美國採購的新一批F-16V(block 70)戰機已有3架飛抵夏威夷,接續將經關島返台之際,美國空軍已正式簽訂一筆價值1480萬美元(約新台幣4.9億元)合約,由防務承包商為台灣空軍的任務訓練中心提供長期的後勤維護與備件支援。外媒報導指出,這項計畫涵蓋台灣嘉義、花蓮及台東等三處空軍據點,合約期限將一路延續至2032年初。

美國防務科技網站《Pulse 2.0》報導,美國空軍生命週期管理中心(AFLCMC)已於10月28日正式授予德州防務訓練大廠「CAE USA」這項混合固定總價合約,合約代號為FA8621-27-C-B001。該案屬於美國對台外國軍事銷售(FMS)計畫,初期已撥付223萬4180美元啟動資金,全案採單一來源採購模式,由美方統籌管理。

根據美軍公布的合約內容,主要工作項目包括承包商後勤支援(CLS)、零組件與備件管理、技術資料服務、差旅以及設備搬遷等相關需求。相關作業除在台灣嘉義、花蓮與台東三處基地的訓練設施同步展開外,部分技術支援與連動訓練也將在美國亞利桑那州圖森的莫里斯空中國民兵基地執行。

《Pulse 2.0》指出,這項任務訓練中心(MTC)支援架構,同時涵蓋台灣空軍現役升級的F-16 Block 20V,以及正陸續接收的全新Block 70機種。任務訓練中心具備高擬真度的全任務模擬功能,能讓飛行員在受控的地面環境中演練複雜作業程序與戰術情境;美軍透過長達多年的承包商後勤架構,旨在確保整套高階訓練系統在全生命週期中維持高度運作可用性。

這項後勤支援合約預計執行至2032年1月30日。目前台灣向美採購的66架全新F-16 Block 70戰機正分批展開交運,首批2架已於10月抵達台東,後續批次也已陸續啟航;美方在此節點確立長達數年的訓練後勤保障,為台灣新舊機隊的飛行員培訓與戰力維持提供了長期的技術支撐。

GPS on NATO's eastern flank was almost severely interfered with, suspected Russian electronic warfare became the focus

Large-scale satellite navigation interference has recently occurred on NATO's eastern flank, covering the southern Baltic Sea, Lithuania, eastern Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and the western Black Sea. Data from Italy's ItaMilRadar and AirNav Radar show that the interference zone highly overlaps with areas where Russian attack drones cross the border. However, no country has confirmed the source of the interference. Some of the anomalies may come from NATO's anti-drone interference system.

Zhang Junjie smuggled out of the country Su Ziyun lamented that the maritime patrol budget only accounts for 0.07% of GDP: National security is most important to rely on oneself

Zhang Junjie, the former director of the office of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei, was involved in a communist espionage case and smuggled out of the country. Su Ziyun, a researcher at the National Defense Academy, used this as an example to call on Taiwan to increase its maritime patrol budget and independent defense capabilities, and not to rely too much on U.S. support.

Only two mysterious US military reconnaissance aircraft in the world are heading to Europe. Foreign media revealed that they may be preparing to use force against Iraq.

The U.S. Air Force's RC-135U "Combat Sentinel" electronic reconnaissance aircraft, which has only two in the world, took off from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, the United States, and landed at Royal Air Force Base in Maddenhow, England on the 4th after transiting in New Hampshire. The aircraft specializes in accurately mapping enemy air defense radar systems. It is widely interpreted by the outside world as an intelligence preparation step for the US military to possibly expand military operations against Iran amid tensions between the United States and Iran. Military experts point out that the data collected can be used to develop anti-radiation missiles and electronic warfare sequences, but open source intelligence analysis believes that this may just be a routine annual baseline sampling mission, and there is no guarantee that it will be transferred to the Middle East in the future.

The bidding for "new heavy-duty trucks" is expected to be opened in December. The national army has been fighting for a long time and prefers the import of complete new vehicles.

The Ministry of National Defense will promote the replacement of old vehicles with new ones starting next year, with a budget of nearly 200 billion. Among them, the bidding for "new heavy-duty trucks" will be opened next month. Zhimao Automobile announced the introduction of Germany's Rheinmetall Mann Military Vehicles (RMMV) TGM-MIL 4x4 military truck to participate in the bidding, becoming the first manufacturer willing to provide a solution. The entire vehicle is imported. Only the modular body is supplied by the Spanish company ELS and assembled in Taiwan. It is interoperable with logistics parts of the US military's general tactical truck. Rheinmetall has no investment in China, which complies with the policy of removing red goods from the supply chain.
