The relationship between the United States and Turkey has been busy with the F-16 Block 70 agenda for a while. America insists on not giving the Blok-70 modernization kits to Turkey. However, it is not just bad relations with Türkiye. Problems began to arise with Taiwan as well. The United States will significantly delay the delivery date in its agreement with Taiwan. The reason is software problems in Blok-70 modernization. Here are the details…
Taiwan is not happy with the F-16 Block 70 and the US attitude!
According to defense-aerospace news, The United States has started to deliver the F-16 Block 70 modernization packages. In this context, the F-16 Block 70s sold to the allied countries would be delivered to the countries one by one. However, software problems within Blok 70 began to prevent deliveries.
Regarding the issue, Taiwan Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-Cheng stated that the focus of defense industry companies within the United States is the Ukraine-Russia war, and therefore deliveries are delayed. He stated that due to the war, companies concentrated on selling weapons to these countries.

According to the statement made by the United States, this is not exactly the case. The USA stated that such a situation occurred due to software problems in the aircraft. Deliveries will continue after the problems in the F-16 Blok 70 Viper model are resolved.
The US had marked 2026 for delivery to Taiwan. In the agreement, the year 2026 was determined. However, the US states that deliveries will not reach 2026. Although Taiwan has expressed dissatisfaction with the issue, it does not have the right to do anything until 2026. The statement from the USA is that the deliveries will accelerate.
Taiwan has so far ordered a total of 66 F-16 Block 70s. With the completion of the deliveries, it will become the second country with the most F-16s in the Asian region. The first country is Türkiye with 200 F-16s. So what do you think about the US’s F-16 deliveries? Don’t forget to give your opinion in the comments section…
