The Ministry of National Defense has thanked the U-S State Department for approving two potential sales to Taiwan of F-16 parts and related equipment.
The sales are expected to help maintain Taiwan's combat capabilities, as China continues to suppress Taiwan's air and maritime training space and response time through its gray-zone tactics.
The packages are worth a total of 300-million dollars and are the 14th package to Taiwan since President Joe Biden took office in 2021.
They include standard and non-standard spare and repair parts, components, consumables, and accessories for F-16 aircraft, as well as other technical and logistics support services.
The Pentagon says the proposed sales would improve Taiwan's ability to meet current and future threats by maintaining the operational readiness of its fleet of F-16 aircraft.
The package is also meant to improve the security of Taiwan and assist in maintaining political stability, military balance, and economic progress in the region.
The U-S Congress has been notified of the potential sales.
