Taiwan's F-16V has finally been launched, carrying the "Harpoon" anti-ship missile, which may be the biggest threat from the air
As the most powerful fighter in Taiwan's air, the F-16V finally began to move after a few days of silence. The aircraft is equipped with 2 AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder melee bombs, and 2 AIM-120 medium-range missiles. With a clear intention to carry out anti-ship missions, air-to-air missiles are used for long-range denial and close-range self-defense.
These F-16Vs are the biggest threat to local air power in Taiwan, and the AN/APG-83 phased array radar replaces the AN/APG-66(V)3 mechanical scanning radar, making the F-16 have an active phased array radar, and the anti-jamming/electronic countermeasure capability greatly improves its combat effectiveness. To a certain extent, compared with those old F-5 and IDF, it has several times or even ten times the combat capability. Therefore, the most effective way to deal with it is to directly eliminate it on the ground and not let him take off at all.
