U.S. Enhances My Air Defense Force and Intentionally Leases More Sensitive F-15 Fighters to Taiwan
19 March 2018 19:00
The U.S. proposal proposes to replace the sale model “rental” to the Taiwanese F-15 fighters
that have undergone medium-term increase in life cycle.
This program has now been submitted to the Ministry of National Defense for evaluation.
A few days ago, Minister of Defense Yan Defa
stated in the Legislative Yuan that he did not purchase F-15 or F-18 fighters as a transitional model;
he currently only purchases F-35 fighters from the United States,
but later changed to the fact that we did not request the United States to purchase F-35 fighters. .
Informed sources pointed out that Taiwan and the United States both discuss the fight against high-altitude airspace interception in Taiwan’s air defense.
The United States proposes the most favorable plan,
replacing the “sale” model with “rental,”
and the medium-term F-15 fighter who will have improved its mid-term lifespan.
"Leasing" to Taiwan because the Air Force once "borrowed" the T-38 trainer from the United States.
This proposal not only does not account for the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan,
but also can be flexibly adjusted according to the length of time.
This is also to take care of me. The party’s limited defense budget is currently being submitted to the Department of Defense for evaluation.
It has been pointed out that the Air Force’s Illusion (Mirage 2000) Warrior, which was responsible for high-altitude interception operations,
was affected by the commission case and its maintenance energy was unstable.
Therefore, the Air Force repeatedly discussed with the US side privately how to reinforce this gap.
The original Air Force inquiry could purchase the latest F-15 2040c type.
The fighter plane was rejected by the U.S. side before considering whether it was replaced by a multi-purpose F/A-18 fighter.
However, the procurement of these two new fighters was not cheap,
plus it involved sensitive Sino-US relations.
Therefore, at the beginning of the year,
the United States proposed to use "rental" instead of "sale" model,
and to "rent" the Middle F-16 fighter who has undergone medium-term increase in lifespan to reinforce the air force's interception of the air gap at high altitude.
F-15 powerful fire climbing faster than F/A-18
In fact, the F-15C/D fighter is more sensitive than the F/A-18 fighter,
except that the F-15 fighter has more combat radius than the F/A-18 fighter,
and the engine has a large thrust and can climb 5 per minute.
Wanying’s speed is faster than that of the F/A-18 fighter.
In addition to the number of F-15C/D fighter-mounted missiles, even if there is no auxiliary fuel tank, the fuselage can be loaded with more than 8 medium-range air-to-air at the same time.
Missiles, as well as more than four AIM-9X advanced rattlesnake missiles , are powerful and have a rapid climb.
On the morning of September 12, 2016 in Lan Yu, off the coast of the Grand Paragon, when the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s Air Force traveled to Pacific voyage training,
US F-15 fighter planes and the People’s Liberation Army Su-30 fighter aircraft approached.
When the two sides took tactical action “in a favorable position”,
The Su-30 fighter plane did not take advantage of the fact that it was forced to use turns to dodge.
Therefore, the F-15 fighter’s operational energy at high altitude and the firepower of the ground attack enabled Israel to continue to use the F-15 fighter plane as the “long-range strike platform”.
According to reports, the F-15C/D fighter aircraft proposed by the US is a type of aircraft that the U.S. prepares to retire,
but its performance has been strengthened by the MLU (Mid Term Lifetime Enhancement) on the mission computer, sensing system, and radar.
The performance is similar to that of the F-15J/DJ/EJ MSIP (Multi-stage Improvement Plan) used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
The airport's runway used by this type of fighter is very short,
which is in line with our short-range take-off and landing.
The climb rate is faster. Meet the needs of high-altitude interception.
It has been pointed out that there are examples in which our country leases military materials to the United States.
The navy rents Knox, the New Port class tank landing vehicle of the US military, and the Air Force rents a T-38 trainer.
As a result, "rental" is less politically sensitive.
With the addition of "rental" to limit the scope of its use,
the F-15 fighters of the Middle Ages did not deploy auxiliary fuel tanks.
This was to limit the range.
Department of Defense evaluation
As the high-level government of our government has repeatedly stated
that it is the first choice to purchase F-35 fighter planes
from the United States to strengthen its air defense capability,
the US cannot possibly make a decision on this in the near future
and face the increase in the combat energy of the PLA's fighter planes.
The U.S. proposed to lease the F-15 fighters of the Middle East to me as a transitional model before purchasing the F-35 fighter plane.
This is an option that the United States believes is most favorable
and can increase the air force interception capability of the air force in a short period of time.
The proposal is being evaluated by the Ministry of Defense.
