First American F-16V fighters arrive in Taiwan
The first two American F-16V fighter jets have arrived in Taiwan as part of an $8 billion deal to purchase 66 fighters approved during Donald Trump's first term. The fighters were received at Taitung Air Base, and their arrival marks an important step in strengthening Taiwan's air defenses. Taiwan is expected to receive the remaining jets before the end of the year, despite manufacturing challenges faced by Lockheed Martin. This move comes amid anticipation of Washington's approval of an additional $14 billion weapons package, amidst warnings from China, which considers the island part of its territory.
