Tajvanci ubacuju nova sedista Martin Baker Mk16
Do kraja godine je isporuka
Taiwan to fit Martin Baker Mk16 ejection seats on F-5
Citat:The information was given to local reporters during a press briefing by the Air Force on the fatal collision of two F-5Es that day.
Maj. Gen. Lin Chih-Hung, head of Air Force Logistic Command, said the new seats will be arriving to the island by end of the year.
Media outlets in Taiwan also reported that one of the F-5E pilots who ejected during the Mar. 22 accident had suffered head injuries which lead to internal bleeding.
An earlier crash of the F-5E in October last year killed Capt. Lo Shang-hua. It was found that he had suffered injuries from the ejection. This lead to calls to replace the ejection seat on the F-5.

Bocvana trazi zameni za svoje CF-5 Freedom Fighters
Citat:The search to replace the legacy Canadair CF-5 Freedom Fighters operated by the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) Air Arm has picked up speed.
Since 2013, the BDF has repeatedly voiced out its concerns about finding a suitable combat aircraft to replace its aging fighter jet fleet. The BDF operates 14 F-5A fighter jets and F-5D trainers bought from Canada in 1996.
Citat:“The current F-5 planes once gave us the essential reach in terms of air defense capabilities. In looking for a replacement, we considered the [US-made] F-16, Russian MiG variants, the [JAS] Gripen and some Chinese jets. The Gripen was found to have the lowest operating costs,” he said. “So if this deal happens, it will be between the governments of Botswana and Sweden.”
Over time, as the serviceability and usability of the BF-5Es is declining, there’s renewed call for replacing the fleet. The Botswana Defence Force has been allocated P14.8 billion ($1.35 billion) for the National Development Plan 11, which runs from 2017 to 2023.
According to the minister, government has invested heavily in establishment of the BDF Air Wing. “We need to maintain it and not let it collapse,” he emphasised. “We have trained pilots (who) need to be provided with air assets.”
Since the renewed call for aircraft began early last year, several aircraft manufacturer have pitched their products to the BDF, these includes General Dynamics with its F-16 Fighting Falcon, SAAB with the JAS 39 Gripen, Leonardo (formerly Alenia Aermacchi with the M-346 Master , and KAI with the T-50/FA-50.
