台灣F-16V Block70戰機首批返台進展:兩架戰機已從夏威夷起飛,預計本週抵達

Quick Look

台灣採購的66架F-16V Block70戰機首批進展:兩架單座戰機(機號6727、6728)於台灣時間7日上午從夏威夷希卡姆聯合基地起飛,預計本週抵達台灣。受天候與技術問題影響延遲,若順利飛返,可能先經關島整補再返台,續航力較舊型F-16A/B BLK20提升,空中加油次數有望減少。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

台灣過去採購F-16A/B BLK20戰機於1990年代服役,當時從夏威夷經關島返台需多次空中加油。新購入的F-16V Block70戰機具備適型油箱(CFT)和額外副油箱,續航力提升,預計減少空中加油需求。

〔記者涂鉅旻/台北報導〕我國對美採購66架F-16V Block70戰機,首批返台有了新進展。民眾在夏威夷直擊,2架F-16V BLK70戰機台灣時間今(7)日上午從夏威夷起飛,是否飛返台灣有待觀察。我國軍方人士未置可否,不過,若從台灣天氣、F-16V BLK70戰機的航程、飛行時速、夏威夷與台灣的距離估算,本週抵達台灣的機會相當高。

台灣過去兩周天候不佳,加上有一些技術性問題須解決,因此,機號6727、6728的F-16V BLK70單座戰機,停留在夏威夷希卡姆(Hickam)聯合基地待命,直到今日上午才起飛。若以我國1990年代接收F-16 BLK20的前例,這批戰機可能先飛至關島整補,再伺機返回台東志航基地。

F-16 BLK20於1997年返台,當年從夏威夷飛至關島曾空中加油6次,關島至台灣再加油4次。F-16V BLK70戰機的機背兩側的適型油箱(CFT),另掛3具副油箱,續航力優於F-16 BLK20,空中加油次數可望減少。

雖以航程與飛行時速來估算,F-16 BLK20戰機從夏威夷飛至關島,約8小時20分,從關島飛至台灣嘉義則約4小時40分。如果這批F-16V BLK70從夏威夷起飛後,確定往台灣飛行,仍受到飛行路線、整補、在關島停留多久,以及台灣周遭天候狀況等變因影響,實際返台時間尚待追蹤。

British experts warn that excessive deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers affects Indo-Pacific deterrence, and hidden worries behind it intensify

British sea power experts pointed out that the tight global deployment and maintenance of U.S. aircraft carriers and naval ships existed long before the outbreak of the Iran war, affecting the Indo-Pacific deterrence capability. Taking the excessive deployment of the USS Lincoln as an example, they analyzed that the overuse of U.S. warships has led to maintenance delays and reduced combat readiness. China may use this opportunity to put pressure on Taiwan.
