New F-16s for the Republic of China Air force

[Le Addeur noir]

Here they come!

The Trump Administration is moving to approve the sale of 66 F-16V to Taiwan.

This will infuriate the Peoples Republic of China government.

Good - let's see the F-16 make 5000 units built.

Good choice. Would have been a good and wise plane for the Netherlands as well......

They do not HAVE a choice, F-35 is not cleared for Taiwan and most countries do not sell arms for fear of repercussions of China. If they could, they would have bought F-35s. Nevertheless you see it as “proof” to support your subjective anti F-35 opinion which means NL should have purchased an inferior system, because you do not like F-35s. Funny.

You don't know if I am pro or contra.
But you are partly right. I think it's way too expensive, you need quality AND quantity. We need power for the money.
And we don't have enough money to buy enough JSF.

I also have an opinion... but please let’s stay on topic. We’ve had this argument before in an other topic....
