Taiwan frustrated over stalled F-16 purchase and upgrades

With American approval stalled, Taiwanese officials are increasingly frustrated over its efforts to purchase F-16C/Ds and upgrading its present F-16 fleet. Taiwan's request for 66 F-16C/D Block 50/52s and an upgrade package for the RoCAF's 146 F-16A/B Block 20 fighters have been on hold since 2007 and 2009 respectively.
