The Ministry of National Defense yesterday confirmed that the air force is mulling the purchase of 60 US-made F-16 fighter jets to upgrade its aging air force fleet."The ministry has been in touch with the US on procuring F-16C/D fighters, but the purchase has not been decided," spokesman Rear Admiral Wu Chi-fang told the Taipei Times yesterday.
However, an air force official said on condition of anonymity that the air force has decided to buy F-16C/D fighters, and the US has basically agreed to the sale.
