State Department Approves $300M F-16 Spare Parts Sale To Taiwan
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By Alimat Aliyeva
The document clarifies that the Taipei Economic and Cultural
Representation (de facto Embassy of the island - ed.) requested
spare parts, components, consumables for the F-16, as well as
aircraft maintenance. It is allowed to sell standard spare parts to
Taiwan for $220 million and non-standard parts for $80 million,
Azernews reports.
The statement notes that the possible deal does not violate
American laws and will not harm U.S. combat readiness.
The American administration has already notified congress of
this decision. The legislature now has 30 days to review the
potential deal and possibly block it. There are about 140 F-16
fighters in service with the Taiwan Air Force.
