This just means the initial wave will have to hit even harder. I wonder how they think their high flying weapons would do against a boost phase intercept (as many ground and surface ship launched weapons need a rocket boost)
Taiwan Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
- Thread starter Gollevainen
- Start date
I'd be a bit more wary of JPN and KOR as they are both essentially US vassal states.
Dropping like flies...

"Want to defeat the Mirage? Sorry, you can only use your imagination"
Ok, use my imagination, but before or after you crash the plane into the sea?

They should prioritizing for all IDF/F-16V fleet. The French haven't provided the best aftersale support for the Mirages and it is unknown how many of the MICAs are still functional.
Unfortunately for ROCAF, there are more MICA for Mirages than AMRAAM for F-16
