〔記者涂鉅旻/台北報導〕我國對美採購66架F-16V Block70(BLK70)戰機返台在即,據證實,首批戰機今天從夏威夷起飛,若天候穩定,預計明天上午飛返台東志航基地,未來將成為空軍台東七聯隊主力,成為東台灣空防的中堅角色。
美國2019年拍板售我66架F-16V Block70戰機,原定最快2023年交付第一批,礙於產線安排等原因延宕,首架戰機今年3月完成驗收飛行測試,首批戰機8月下旬飛抵夏威夷後,返台行程數度受到天候及其他因素影響而延遲。
民進黨立委王定宇稍早在臉書透露,據聞滯留在夏威夷逾一個月的2架F-16V戰機,今天已經起飛往台灣飛來,這1、2天會回到台灣。據證實,若無意外且天候穩定,首批戰機最快明天上午返台。
比起現役F-16V Block20戰機,新購F-16V Block70戰機的機體壽命更長,且採用最大後燃推力高達2萬9500磅的F110-GE-129發動機,機背則有適形油箱,無論航程、機體壽命、推力等,皆比F-16V Block20更有優勢。
