The US State Department has approved a major defense sale to Taiwan, worth $500 million. The sale includes infrared search and tracking systems for F-16 fighter jets, along with various related equipment and support.
The move aims to strengthen Taiwan’s ability to safeguard its airspace, improve regional security and improve interoperability with the United States. This strategic sale aligns with both the recipient’s ongoing efforts to modernize its military forces and its goal of maintaining a strong defensive posture. The State Department emphasizes that this transaction will not disrupt the existing military balance in the region and will not adversely affect US defense readiness.
