jazbar ::Nešto se prića da nadgrađuju na blok 60 njihove F-16 block 52. UAE je dobio u bloku 60 radar Northrop Grumman AN/APG-80 AESA.
UAE je platio razvoj istog, on neide dalje. Northrop je razvio SABR a Rytheon RACR AESA za modernizacije F-16. USAF i Tajvan su za sada uzeli SABR a Koreja RACR.

F-16 Upgrade Dropped From US Budget Proposal, Sources Say
http://www.defensenews.com/article/20140127/DEFREG.....ources-Say
Citat:WASHINGTON & TAIPEI — A major F-16 upgrade program is likely to be left out of the president’s fiscal 2015 budget request, according to multiple sources.
The Combat Avionics Programmed Extension Suite (CAPES) is a US Air Force program to replace the avionics and radars for 300 US F-16s. It would also upgrade 146 Taiwanese F-16A/B fighters purchased in the 1990s.
Sources said the US Air Force has decided not to fund the CAPES program, instead reinvesting some of that money toward a general F-16 service-life extension program (SLEP) while putting the rest toward modernization efforts for other platforms.
Citat:“This is a crisis,” he said. “Taiwan should have taken more control over the source selection instead of handing it over to the [US Air Force] to run it.”
“Now Taiwan’s MND will have to figure out an exit strategy even though the warning signs were there,” he said. “The MND did not begin exploring their contingency options soon enough even though warned by industry analysts.”
Without CAPES funding, Taiwan might not be able to afford the F-16 upgrade program. Last week, the MND announced a 20 percent cut in the size of the military over the next five years. Taiwan is struggling due to a decline in the economy and difficulty paying off $13 billion worth of military equipment procured from Washington since 2008.
Opet problemi.
