https://www.defensenews.com/air/2017/12 ... t-upgrade/Taiwan has completed an upgrade program of its indigenous fighter fleet,
with the last two upgraded aircraft handed over to the country’s Air Force on Thursday.
According to a news report by the Taiwanese military’s official news agency,
Taiwan’s Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation handed over
the upgraded F-CK-1 Ching-kuo Indigenous Defense Fighter
in a ceremony attended by Air Force Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Hu Kai-Hung.
The ceremony marks the completion of Phase 2 the Hsiang-chan program
to upgrade 56 aircraft to F-CK-1C/D standard.
Phase 1 of the program saw 71 aircraft upgraded starting from 2009.
The upgraded aircraft feature a new glass cockpit,
a 32-bit flight control computer and improved electronic warfare capabilities.
The landing gear was strengthened
and a digital anti-skid system added,
although earlier plans to fit conformal fuel tanks to the fleet was abandoned.
The aircraft will also be able to carry
the Wan Chien air-to-ground, subsonic standoff cruise missile
developed by Taiwan’s National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, or NCSIST,
which was first seen in 2014 and believed to have a range of about 150 miles.
