F-5性能提升必要時可攻擊中國內陸
未來台灣至少有一個F-16戰機中隊
可夜間空襲摧毀如三峽大壩等戰略目標落實「決戰境外」

(台灣日報記者洪哲政∮台北報導)根據國軍92年公開預算中詳列,台灣空軍已完成四十架F-5戰機火控雷達性能提升,賦予戰機「有效針對敵內陸」各種目標實施空對地精準攻擊,在F-16戰機夜間穿透對地攻擊戰尚未成熟之際,擔負對中國內陸主動攻擊任務。顯示軍方已初步實踐陳水扁總統「決戰境外」主張。

此外,軍方也以「光華七號」為名執行對美採購紀德級飛彈驅逐艦案,內容除指出首兩艘將於94年返國外,更宣示將以紀德艦結合全軍資料鏈系統、陸基防空系統,組成強而有力的「國家整體防空作戰網」。

根據預算內容顯示,空軍已提升桃園指揮部二個中隊F-5型戰機火控雷達性能提升,未來除執行摧毀敵軍火砲範圍之外的集結兵力與物資,或是聯合陸海軍對進襲台灣本島的敵軍執行泊地攻擊外,還將賦予其「決戰境外」的任務;相較軍方過去論及打擊敵方內陸戰略時即採曖昧不明的態度,這段表述令人耳目一新。

預算內容公開宣示,這項性能提升計畫將使F-5戰機有效對敵「內陸」各飛機陣地、艦艇、坦克、裝甲車輛、堅固工事等目標實施有效精準攻擊,並運用戰機的快速打擊特性及戰術戰法,在大速度、高高度情況下執行反制、阻絕、密支等空對地攻擊任務。

軍方目前正在研議新的防衛圈,以「西進」方式向中國內陸擴張台灣戰略縱深。F-5戰機作戰半徑僅二七五浬,F-16戰機則遠達八三○浬,是空軍航程最遠的機種。空軍預算也顯示,空軍已接收28套開路者∮神射手(Pathfind/sharpshoot)導航、目獲莢艙,並完成8名種子教官培訓,返國實施擴訓。未來台灣至少有一個F-16戰機中隊,可在夜間深入中國內陸執行空襲,摧毀如三峽大壩等戰略目標,成為決戰境外的主力機種。

此外,海軍將以「戰鷹計畫」為名,採購一一○枚戰備用魚叉飛彈,配備在濟陽級巡防艦,提升遠程制海作戰能力;空軍也準備分三年獲得五十八枚空射魚叉飛彈,配置在F-16戰機,支援水面作戰;而海軍陸戰隊也將執行「翎翔計畫」,持續採購攜行式刺針防空飛彈,部署在外島防區,強化外島野戰防空能力。

新竹市戰備鐵道整闢成平面道路命名鐵道路

(中央社新竹市四日電)跨越新竹市兩個行政區、連繫火車站經台肥公司
至新竹空軍基地的戰備鐵道,因功能被陸運、空運取代而荒廢多時,自八
十九年執行整闢成平面道路,於八月九日全線完工啟用,新竹市長林政則
為求貼近居民生活便利與紀念價值,透過研商與徵詢文史耆老意見,今正
式命名為鐵道路。

全長三千五百七十公尺、耗資五千四百餘萬元的鐵道路,自八十九年二月
起分三個階段闢建,貫穿東、北兩區、十三個里,舊稱火車路或鐵枝路,
從中正路旁的新竹空軍基地,經東大路二段、湳中街、武陵路、湳雅街、
光華二街、經國路一段、中華路一段,最後彎延至新竹火車站,原是二次
世界大戰後期,日本殖民政府為運補武器彈葯所闢建的鐵道,近年來因貨
櫃運輸及空運發達而逐漸沒落荒廢。

新竹市府鑑於沿線人口密集、交通壅塞,商得鐵路局同意代為管理,並積
極籌劃經費,闢建成平面道路供市民通行,而在九十年三月完成道路工程
三分之二時,地方上傳出對路名的聲音,北區戶政所當時辦理說明會廣納
意見,綜合分成鐵道路、鐵枝路、戰備路等第一方案;道卡斯路、湳進路
、雅進路、環北路、竹塹路等第二方案;用錫路第三方案。今年八月九日
全線完工後召開第二次說明會,擬以鐵道路較具歷史紀念性質,符合地方
特色,最後由林政則在市務會議作成裁示,今天正式命名為鐵道路。

軍機墜毀╱堅持不跳傘以免民眾傷亡 飛官處置受讚揚
2002/09/12

由齊文國、劉金祥駕駛的 T34 教練機遭鳥擊而迫降,當時發現飛機起火燃燒,但二人堅持不跳傘,仍冒著生命危險,堅持選擇空曠郊區的荔枝園迫降,才沒有造成更大的傷亡意外,其瞬間判斷決策力受到肯定。

這次 T34 型軍用教練機在台中上空遭到連續兩次鳥擊,造成教練機動力瞬間失去動力,從兩千英尺高空進行緊急迫降,僅造成正駕駛齊文國受到頸椎挫傷。

根據在教練機上的少校劉金祥表示,當時原本想飛回水湳基地,不過齊文國中校訓練官根據實際狀況研判,已經不可能,因為飛機剛好是台中市區上空,萬一兩人跳傘逃生,飛機墜落會造成民眾傷亡,後果堪虞,因此採取緊急應變處置,選擇在郊區位置迫降。

針對這起飛機出事,而僅造成一人受傷的意外,據一位軍機駕駛表示,正駕駛齊文國與副駕駛劉金祥二人處理鳥擊而使得飛機迫降在荔枝園內,降低人員傷亡,齊、劉二人所表現的臨危不亂,正確的判斷力值得肯定。

空軍官校認為教練機迫降台中得宜

(中央社記者陳守國高雄縣十二日電)空軍官校所屬T34單螺旋槳基本教練機,今天由台中水湳機場飛返空軍官校,在台中上空疑似遭鳥擊而迫降台中,一名飛行員受傷;官校政治部副主任潘良奎表示,這不是機械故障,難以預防,當時飛機高度不夠,且附近沒有飛機場,只好選擇對地面傷害最小的地方迫降。

這架T34基本教練機有十六年歷史,這次是到水湳機場完成三年一次的非破壞性結構大檢修,今天由兩位空軍官校教官駕駛飛返空軍官校。

潘良奎表示,T34是妥善性高、穩定性好的基本教練機,官校擁有的T34教練機飛行都已十多年,分成多級維修及大修,定期維修。官校學生畢業後才能進行T34教練機飛行訓練,在單飛前都已接受迫降飛行教育,並在安全範圍內實際模擬迫降飛行。空軍官校畢業生完成T34基本教練機飛行後,再依志願,參加畢其或AT3噴射教練機訓練飛行半年後分發部隊服役。

強化南向政策 擴及軍事交流   中華民國91年9月15日星期日 自由時報

〔記者吳明杰╱台北報導〕台菲、台星軍事交流熱絡!據查證,菲國空軍上將等軍官去年曾秘密來台,菲國國防部的上校級軍官曾與我洽談購買F-5E戰機事宜;我陸、海、空三軍與新加坡軍方也緊密聯繫,提升軍事交流內涵。充分顯示繼經貿南向政策後,我國軍事交流也興起一股南向政策。

  菲律賓計畫向台灣採購F-5E戰機近年時有所聞,空軍總部對此雖未證實,不過根據九十二年度公開版的國防預算書,包括新任菲律賓參謀總長迪凡瑟上將,去年在空軍總司令任內,以及菲律賓國防部資深助理伊西托上校等官員確實都曾來台洽談F-5E戰機軍購事宜。

  此外,除從民國八十二年就開始進行的「中菲海洋長途飛行訓練暨敦睦參訪」計畫外,空軍明年也將首度把長途飛行訓練範圍擴展到新加坡,由四十人分次多批執行「中星海洋長途飛行訓練暨敦睦參訪」,而陸軍部份則繼續「中星協訓會議」,海軍敦睦艦隊也將在明年訪問新加坡,三軍同時與新加坡提升軍事交流。

  據空軍總部預算書指出,九月才升任菲律賓武裝部隊參謀總長的迪凡瑟,在空軍總司令任內,曾於去年十二月四日到六日來台訪問,菲律賓國防部資深助理伊西托上校等五人,也曾於去年九月二十四日到二十九日訪問台灣洽談F-5E戰機案,空軍總部方面由情報署署長蔡竹有少將陪同。

  在菲律賓方面,空軍去年已完成四梯次「中菲敦邦參訪」,明年還將繼續「中菲海洋長途飛行訓練暨敦睦參訪」,實施空軍空運機海洋長途飛行訓練並實施空軍軍事交流。

  去年底才來訪的迪凡瑟在九月滿五十六歲,原本應屆齡退休,不過臨時授命接任參謀總長,任期將延到十一月十八日,軍方官員表示,迪凡瑟對台灣十分友好,升任菲律賓參謀總長後台菲軍事交流有機會進一步提升。

  官員認為,菲律賓除了平時可提供馬尼拉北方的克拉克基地做為台灣二代戰機訓練飛行基地外,特別是一旦共軍武力犯台,台灣部份二代戰機可以先飛往鄰近的菲律賓保存戰力,對台灣而言有延長戰略縱深的價值。軍方官員表示,F5E戰機機齡雖然超過三十年,但是除了對空作戰能力不及F16和幻象兩千外,對地面和對海面仍然保有作戰能力,特別是炸射能力極強,適合密集支持作戰。

英國佬死也不肯大砍 HAWK 的價格,結果老印忍不住捷克的誘惑,開始盯著L-159…

Czech firm enters fray to sell Advanced Jet Trainers to Indian Air Force

New Delhi Hindustan Times (Internet Version-WWW) in English 06 Sep 02

New Delhi, September 5: The Acquisition of an Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT)for the
Indian Air Force (IAF), which will be one of Indias biggest-everdefence deals, has been
thrown into uncertainty yet again. The reason: a Czech-US joint venture has jumped into
the fray.
The IAF does not have an AJT, and the availability of one is critical forreducing
its high accident rate. The IAF has suffered 283 accidents between1991 and 2000 - 42
percent due to human error - and 100 pilots have beenkilled. The proposal for the
acquisition of 66 AJTs is pending a decision forthe last 17 years, despite the urgency.
After the Defence Ministers recent public declaration that a choice hadbeen made
and the matter was referred to the Cabinet Committee for Security(CCS) for approval,
it was inferred that he was referring to the British Hawk.
The IAF has conveyed that the Hawk is suitable, and price negotiationswith the
British too have been concluded.
But now, the government has indicated that the deal could be wide openwith the
offer for the Czech L-159B AJT being under examination. TheAmerican Boeing is a 35
percent partner in the Czech Aero Vodochody,manufacturers of the L-159B.
The delay is on account of the Czech-American bid, sources confirmed.We have to
examine every offer, lest there be allegations later that allproposals were not
considered, a senior officer said.
A Czech delegation led by its Industry Minister Jiri Rusnok made ahigh-pitched sales
call in New Delhi last week.
The Indians assured us that no decision had been made. Top Indiangovernment and IAF
officers were highly appreciative of the quality of the L-159 aircraft, a Czech
spokesperson boasted.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) declined to clarify whether its proposal tothe CCS
contains only one or more options. All that can be said is that theCzechs are making a
strong bid. Nobody can be ruled out, an MoD source said.[Description of Source: New

菲律賓不急著買我國F5-E

菲律賓參謀總長﹝狄鋒索﹞說,為了不要刺激中共,菲律賓並不急著購買我國的F5-E戰鬥機。
﹝狄鋒索﹞說,為了避免外交衝突,他曾經建議讓中共跟我國買F5-E,再由中共把飛機賣給菲律賓。他說,在菲律賓軍方有經費購買先進戰機以前,菲律賓空軍非常希望買一批F-5E戰機,在目前這個青黃不接的時候鞏固空防。

我國空軍為了能使用菲律賓基地訓練飛行員,願意用極低的價錢賣二十四架F-5E給菲律賓。中共強烈反對這筆交易。中共認為這筆生意違反了菲律賓的一個中國政策。

美國官員指B2進駐印度洋與攻擊伊拉克無關

(中央社記者鍾行憲華盛頓十七日專電)五角大廈今天表示,英國已經同意美國在英屬島嶼狄耶戈加西亞派駐B2隱形轟炸機的要求。但是國防官員指出,將來在此一印度洋基地部署B2轟炸機與目前策劃可能對伊拉克發動的戰爭無關。

一位高級國防官員告訴美國之音電台說,美國最早是在兩年前與英國討論B2隱形轟炸機派駐狄耶戈加西亞島的可能性。

這位官員表示,最初的談判重點是為B2轟炸機在狄耶戈加西亞建立臨時機棚,但是稍後決定建造永久性的結構安放此一精密的飛機。

他又說,英國在兩、三個月前同意美國在該印度洋島嶼為B2轟炸機建造機棚,此一工程進行也已有一段時間。但是他不願作進一步的說明。

目前還不知道美國打算在狄耶戈加西亞部署幾架B2轟炸機。然而,美國空軍只有二十一架這種造價昂貴的飛機,顯示頂多只會有幾架派駐該印度洋基地。

美國之音電台指出,這將是B2轟炸機首次部署在美國境外。美國曾在阿富汗戰事中使用此一轟炸機,但它們都是由美國往返。派駐狄耶戈加西亞將可節省該機飛抵阿富汗或伊拉克目標上空一半的距離。儘管如此,這位要求匿名的高級官員強調,此舉是一項長期計畫,與目前策劃可能對伊拉克採取的軍事行動毫不相干。

菲參議員促國會反對取得臺灣F-5E戰鬥機計劃

(中央社記者劉崇澤馬尼拉十八日專電)菲律賓國會參院多數黨領袖拉加達,今天要求國會反對菲律賓政府向臺灣取得老式F-5E噴射戰門機,如果條件損害菲律賓領土完整的話。

拉加達針對一項外電報導發出新聞稿說,「如果臺灣想以折扣價出售F-5E戰門機給菲律賓交換在Pampanga省克拉克機場的前美國空軍基地的降落權,臺灣的要求太過份」。

她警告,如果臺灣的戰鬥機在兩國爆發戰爭時獲准在菲律賓避難,菲律賓可能捲入核子國家中國和臺灣之間的爭執。

「即使幾中隊美國空軍目前使用的最新式F-18戰鬥機也不值得使菲律賓涉入中國與臺灣始終有可能發生的武裝衝突」。

外電報導,菲律賓軍方官員證實計劃以降落權交換以便宜價格的二十四架F-5E戰鬥機,拉加達表示強烈反對,包括讓臺灣空軍飛行員在菲律賓領空訓練。

拉加達說「菲律賓終止與美國的空軍基地條約就是不要國內有外國基地『吸引』敵對國家攻擊我們」。她說,「我們為什麼要讓臺灣在我國有一事實(defacto)空軍基地,只是為了取得老舊的F-5E戰鬥機?」「這不僅違反我們的一個中國政策,也等於在中國-臺灣的爭執中偏袒一方」。

Several defence purchase agreements with US in the offing Washington, Sep 18 xxx
Having recently concluded anking helipcopters, India plans to buy electronic surveillance
sensors to monitor infiltration of terrorists from Pakistan, a leading American analyst has
said.

For use along the Line of Control in Kashmir, India wants sensors that can detect people
crawling, walking or running, and can operate in adverse conditions at ranges far beyond those
achievable by other electro-optical or laser- based sensor systems, said John E Carbaugh, a
Washington- based consultant in the latest issue of India report. Quoting from the Janes
defence weekly, he points that India has a lot of new money to spend and a large proportion
of it will be directed to US suppliers.

Among the several deals in the pipeline are the P-3 Orion Maritime surveillance aircraft, GE
engines for the Light Combat Aircraft project, C-130 Hercules aircraft and submarine rescue
facilities.

US and India completed their first major weapons deal in more than a decade earlier this year
when India bought 8 Raytheon Firefinder long-range weapon-locating radars for USD 146 million.

The Pentagon had then described the radar purchase as historic and illustrative of the new
closeness of the bilateral relationship, Carbaugh said.

第二則﹕印度訪以色列恰談Phalcon 等軍購 (猶太人真﹏)、
並派人去義大利看訓練機

AFP: Indian Defence Chiefs On Arms Missions In Israel, Italy
Hong Kong AFP in English 1336 GMT 17 Sep 02
NEW DELHI, Sept 17 (AFP) - India on Tuesday sent a military team to Israel to try to
procure an airborne radar system, as Defence Minister George Fernandes prepared to leave for
Italy for military consultations.
Government sources said the high-powered Indian team led by Defence Secretary Subir Dutta
will be in Tel Aviv for a week to try to clinch a billion-dollar deal to purchase Phalcon
Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS).
India insists that it has already won concrete assurances that the United States would not
block New Delhis purchase of the Phalcon, despite fears the acquisition could deepen South
Asias crisis.
The team will also discuss possible acquisitions of unmanned aerial vehicles for the
Indian air force, navy and the army, a senior defence ministry official told AFP, claiming
that talks on the Phalcon deal were at an advanced stage.
The US, which has jointly developed the Phalcon AWACS with Israel, is yet to give the
green light for its sale to India, which is locked in a military standoff with nuclear rival
Pakistan following an attack on the national parliament on December 13.

The US snapped military ties with both India and Pakistan after their tit-for-tat nuclear
weapons tests in 1998 but Washington diluted its stand when the two South Asian rivals joined
the international coalition against terrorism after September 11.
India, however, without waiting for Washingtons nod, has begun negotiating a tripartite
deal with Russia and Israel to mount Phalcon radars on Russian Ilyshin-76 cargo aircraft
instead of using planes made by US-based Boeing Corp.
The India-Israeli deal involves three Phalcon AWACS, and is worth an estimated one billion
dollars.
Israel last year bowed to US pressure to drop a similar deal to supply Beijing with an
advanced early warning system, as Washington feared this could upset the strategic balance
between China and Taiwan.
The Indian defence ministry official also said the visiting team will hold talks on
Israeli detection sensors, which New Delhi plans to deploy on the borders of its zone of
Kashmir to try to prevent infiltrations by Muslim militants from the Pakistan zone of the
disputed Himalayan state.
Along with Israel, the US is also in the race to supply electronic detection systems to
Indias pressed military.
There is a full list that the team will discuss during its stay in Israel, the official
said, adding that counter-terrorism hardware was high on Indias military shopping list.
After Russia, Israel in recent years has become Indias second largest defence supplier
with armament sales from Tel Aviv to New Delhi touching 60 billion rupees (1.25 billion dollars) last year.
Indian Defence Minister Fernandes, meanwhile, was set to leave for Italy later Tuesday
for a look at Italian Aeromacchi advanced trainer jets, an official said.
Fernandes, during his six-day stay in Rome beginning on Wednesday, would hold talks with
his military counterparts, he said.
He would also visit an aeronautical plant near Venegono Superiore where the Aeromacchi
MB-549 trainers are manufactured.
The Italians, along with Russian makers of the MiG-AT, were in the race to grab the
1.6-billion-dollar deal to supply 66 trainers to India but New Delhi last week said Hawk
jets of the British Aerospace had been singled out as the hot favourite of the Indian Air Force.
The official was not able to say why Fernandes was taking time to look at the Aeromacchi
MB-549 when the aircraft has already been dropped from the Indian air force shortlist.
The air force, which is the worlds fourth largest, has been plagued by crashes in recent
years and the accidents are blamed on the absence of a jet trainer for rookie pilots.
At least 221 Indian MiG-21 fighter jets worth tens of millions of dollars were lost in
crashes between 1991 and 2000, killing around 100 pilots.
The defence ministers trip to Italy is being described in New Delhi as window-shopping
by Fernandes.

North Korean Air Force looks to Moscow
By David Isenberg
In late August Russian and North Korean experts held talks that could lead to a boost in Russian
arms sales to Pyongyang. While North Korea cannot afford to buy large numbers of modern weapons
systems it does need to update its obsolete equipment. This is good news for Russia, because North
Korean weapons are largely of Soviet origin. North Korea produces no aircraft itself, although it
does produce some spare parts for its aircraft.

As Asia Times Online reported last month (North Korean, Russian ties firmly on track, August 27),
currently Russian arms sales to North Korea are estimated at about US$10 million a year, presumably
a minimum level to supply the North Korean army with most needed spare parts. North Korea reportedly
sought some $100 million of Russian arms supplies per annum, but Moscow has been reluctant to extend
new loans to cash-strapped Pyongyang.

Russian specialists say the North Korean Air Force is most in need of updating, according to a
report by Agence France Presse. It has 500 aircraft but only 30 MiG-29 fighters and 35 Su-25 fighters
can be classed as being up to date. More than half of the air force is grounded and needs repair
and modernization. About two-thirds of the North Korean Air Force is older-generation Soviet- or
Chinese-made designs incorporating 1950s and 1960s technology, with rudimentary avionics and
limited weapons systems capability.

Older fighter aircraft include 160 MiG-21/Fishbeds, 20 Su-7/Fitters, 160 MiG-19/Farmers, 120 MiG-17/
Frescos, and 190 MiG-15/Fagots. Most of these aircraft are daylight, clear-weather-capable only,
and carry limited weapon loads. Three regiments totaling 80 medium-range Il-28/BEAGLEs are the only
bombers in the air force inventory.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, the Soviet Union supplied a variety of a limited number of more modern
all-weather air-defense and ground-attack aircraft. In 1985, North Korea acquired 45 MiG-23/Floggers,
with increased range and payload over other older, less capable North Korean fighters. This aircraft
can carry the older AA-2/Atoll and the more sophisticated AA-7/Apex air-to-air missiles in an air-
intercept role. It can also be armed with general-purpose bombs and rockets for ground-attack missions.

In 1985, North Korea also acquired 15 Soviet MiG-29/Fulcrum fighters. The MiG-29 carries the AA-10/
Alamo beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. These Fulcrums provide Pyongyang with a limited but
much improved air-defense capability.

In the late 1980s, the air force improved its ground-attack capabilities when it acquired 35 Su-25/
Frogfoot aircraft from the Soviet Union. All-weather-capable and well armored, the Frogfoot has a
combat radius of 300 nautical miles and carries up to 5,000 kilograms of bombs and rockets. While
Russia provides North Korea with spare parts for its Soviet-built fighter jets and armor, it has no
intention of giving it any offensive weapons,

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said on August 26. We are supplying some equipment that
cannot be called modern, let alone offensive, to North Korea. He said Russia is supplying North
Korea with defense systems and spare parts for tanks and fighter planes.

In recent years, Russia, unlike other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries - Belarus,
Ukraine and Kazakhstan - has delivered practically no weapons to the northern part of the Korean
Peninsula. According to information in the United Nations Register, over the past 10 years Russia
has sold about 260 Igla-1 surface-to-air complexes to North Korea, though it also gave Pyongyang
a license to manufacture them, as well as several missiles for combat cutters.

Meanwhile, Russia has delivered to South Korea 10 Mi-17 helicopters, 80 BMP-3 combat vehicles, 20
BTR-80 armored transporters, and 80 T-80U tanks. Rosoboroneksport, Russia𠏋 main arms-trading
company, is conducting negotiations on the sale to Seoul of S-300PMU and S-300V surface-to-air
missile systems, as well as Ka-50 helicopters - the Chernaya Akula (Black Shark).

Yet North Korean leader Kim Jong-il visited Russia in late August for the second consecutive
summer. He brought with him members of his State Defense Council, a secretary of the Central
Committee of the Labor Party of Korea, government ministers and other officials. Last year he
traveled 13,000 kilometers from the North Korean capital to Moscow and back along the Trans-
Siberian railroad. During his trip he visited Komsomolsk-on-Amur, where he took in an aviation
production association of the Sukhoi Corp and a shipyard. Reportedly he spent two-and-a-half hours
on the Sukhoi plant shop floors. He watched the process of manufacturing an Su-27 jet fighter and
a super-heavy press that die-stamped a variety of aircraft parts in his presence.

Sukhoi Corp director-general Mikhail Pogosyan said the North Korean government delegation had shown
clear interest in the achievements of the Russian aviation industry.

Earlier, ahead of the visit, Pogosyan had said the North Korean leader and delegation would be
familiarized with the Su-30MKK fighter planes manufactured for China, the upgraded Su-30 planes for
service with the Russian Air Force and the program of development and production of a new multi-
mission plane, the Su-80, and two amphibian planes, the Be-20 and the Be-103.

空軍軍工廠國有民營有助提升空軍維修能量
2002/9/16
(軍聞社記者李智偉台北十六日電)為推動國家整體航太工業發展,增加國內廠商承接軍機維修商
機,並節省國防預算,降低國軍飛機維修成本,經濟部工業局及航太小組今天上午與漢翔、華航、
長榮、亞航、工研院等五家國內重要航太廠商,及全球第一大國防廠商美國洛克西德馬汀公司,共
同簽署「空軍軍工廠國有民營」協議備忘錄,共同為提升我國空軍維修能量而努力。

經濟部表示,有鑑於「軍工廠國有民營」於國際間已蔚為趨勢,且是世界各國公認兼具節省國防預
算,有利於國防與經濟發展之最佳解決方案;就我國而言,目前所擁有設備良好之空軍軍工廠,經
驗豐富的維修人員與龐大軍機維修市場等優勢條件,實為吸引國際著名航太大廠投資合作之最佳誘
因。

經濟部指出,由於軍機維修具項多量少、投資金額大及技術門檻高等特性,國防部認為在我國資源
有限的情況下應統籌規劃,以避免軍民重複投資,造成資源浪費,且我國軍機維修主要廠級能量,
皆集中在三個空軍軍工廠;因此自八十三年起,委託經濟部工業局及航太小組,先後多次赴希臘、
以色列、美國、新加坡及阿根廷等國實地參訪蒐集,並瞭解該等國家實施軍工廠國有民營之過程與
經驗。

經過長期深入研究,國防部亦於民國八十八年,明訂空軍二指部為優先實施國有民營的單位,並將
於九十三年一月一日前完成轉型正式營運,空軍一、三指部將於九十五年一月一日完成轉型;而實
施國有民營之相關法規「國防部科技工業機構委託民間經營管理辦法」亦已奉行政院核定,並於今
年三月一日施行。

今天與會的空軍總部後勤署署長張漢卿少將表示,所謂「空軍軍工廠國有民營」,是將現有軍工廠
的人員、裝備及廠房交付予簽署的六家廠商管理,以建構出維修能量;另外,在技術方面,則是依
未來工廠的營運狀況,初期是建立國內的經濟能量,爾後則視發展狀況拓展到國際市場。

張少將強調,「空軍軍工廠國有民營」是國家未來的政策之一,空軍總部將會樂觀其成。

國軍研究新戰術戰法因應共軍第三代戰機威脅

︵中央社記者羅廣仁桃園縣二十四日電︶國防大學空軍學院院長師國強今天指出,中共研發自製的殲十戰機,配合自蘇俄引進組裝的蘇愷二十七戰機和蘇愷三十戰機完成量產後,預判中共空軍第三代戰機的戰力會在二0一0年逐漸超越台灣,國軍已經針對中共第三代戰機發展新的戰術、戰法,以因應未來的戰場形勢。

國防大學今天舉行軍事記者國防講座,師國強在答覆記者相關問題時做以上表示。

師國強說,殲十戰機是中共「第十號工程」的新戰機發展計畫,是用以色列幼獅戰機為藍本、架構,配合中共本身的研發技術和俄羅斯提供的技術援助完成設計,在性能上超越F十六戰機,並和蘇愷二十七戰機相近,未來蘇愷二十七戰機在大陸生產線完成組裝和量產後,預計會有二百五十架,再加上蘇愷三十戰機也技術轉移中共,殲十戰機開始量產,至二0一0年中共完成第三代戰機主力的換裝,整體空軍戰力會逐漸超越台灣。

他指出,殲十戰機在性能上除了超音速巡航,在其他性能上並未超越第三代戰機,第四代戰機目前是以JSF和F22為主,因此共軍的殲十戰機和國軍新一代戰機仍是在現有基礎上「對等發展」。

師國強說,「多機種」混合戰鬥是未來空戰的趨勢,因此要重視鏈路系統、戰場管理和新的戰術、戰法組合的發展,國軍已經注意蒐集相關資料,研究新的戰術、戰法,以因應未來台海空防需要。

Moscow Demand Said Endangering Israel-India-Russia Military Plane Deal
Tel Aviv Haaretz (Internet Version-WWW) in English 26 Sep 02
[Report by Amnon Barzilay: Israeli-Indian Plane Deal Blocked by Russian Demands]
A three-way military aircraft deal between Israel, Russia and India valued at hundreds of millions of dollars
is being threatened due to a dispute between Jerusalem and Moscow.

According to the deal, Israel Aircraft Industry is to upgrade three Russian Ilyushin planes with Eltas
advanced radar capabilities for the Indian Air Force. However, Russia is demanding $250 million for the
planes, a figure that IAI is not willing to pay.

餓國人硬要兩億五千萬,很摳的猶太人不想付

Russia is also considering suing Israel for intellectual property theft for past deals in which IAI, and
other Israeli companies, upgraded MiGs and other Russian planes for third-party countries without receiving
permission from Moscow.

Washington, which prevented a similar deal for the sale of Phalcon jets to China in the 1990s, has not
objected to the Indian Air Force deal thus far, Defense Ministry Director-General Amos Yaron said.

Indias air force has long relied on former Soviet and Russian know-how, but has been trying to wean itself
from Moscows near hegemony over both technology and training of its pilots. India also wants to tighten
strategic relations with Israel, and has been quite impressed by Israeli technology. Last year, Israel and
India signed a long-term industrial cooperation deal, capping five years of weapons deals worth more than $1
billion.

According to Israeli sources, Moscow has been pressuring India to drop the deal with Israel and accept
Russian radar systems on the Ilyushin. Israel says that Indias desire to wean itself from Russian
technology prompted Delhis rejection of the Russian offers.

When the Phalcon deal was being worked out, Russia wanted $80 million a plane, but after lengthy
negotiations, Moscows price dropped to $47.5 million -- a price that would make the current deal to India
profitable -- something the Defense Ministry insists upon for every IAI deal.

Meanwhile, the Russian state company responsible for arms sales is said to be considering suing Israel for
past deals made between Jerusalem and third-party countries to upgrade their Russian planes, mostly MiG 21s
and MiG 29s.

Russia has already sought clarification with Israel about such past deals, which date back to when Russia
was part of the Soviet Union, and Jerusalem brought in hard currency with usually secret deals to upgrade
planes owned by foreign air forces.

Moscow is now considering going to an international court claiming that Israel violated Russian copyrights
by working on the Soviet-era planes. Brig. Gen. (res.) Yekutiel Mor, a deputy director-general for foreign
relations at the Defense Ministry, visited Moscow a few months ago to discuss the issue.

As for the Russian demands for $250 million for their part in the Indian Air Force deal, Israeli defense
sources say that negotiations may take time, but eventually a deal will be struck to satisfy all three
parties.[Description of Source: Tel Aviv Haaretz (Internet Version-WWW) in English

美決售台AIM120空對空飛彈

華盛頓記者林寶慶/二十八日電

美國府會人士指出,美國計畫明年初將AIM一二○中程空對空飛彈運交台灣。這是美國政府支持台灣的另一個政治象徵。

不過台灣取得飛彈後無法立即使用,台灣的F十六戰機還須加裝新系統,才能發射AIM一二○。

負責建造的雷神公司已於八月為台灣生產首批八枚AIM一二○飛彈,其後每月為台灣生產十至十二枚。美國計畫明年初將部分已製成的AIM一二○飛彈運交台灣,而不做庫存。

美國於二○○○年同意出售兩百枚AIM一二○飛彈給台灣,但飛彈先庫存美國,以避免將此先進飛彈戰力引進亞洲地區。運交條件是如果大陸方面取得AA十二飛彈,並已加入戰備,美國再將AIM一二○飛彈運交給台灣。

華盛頓時報月前報導,中共的兩架蘇愷卅戰機,已朝靶機試射AA十二飛彈。多位美國參議員隨即聯名致函國務院指出,鑑於中國大陸最近試射AA十二空對空飛彈,美國也應該把AIM一二○空對空飛彈運交台灣。

華盛頓時報廿七日報導,布希政府決定將AIM一二○延至中共國家主席江澤民訪美後才運交台灣;消息人士也證實這點。

原先美國國防部希望運交AIM一二○飛彈給台灣,但美國國務院尚未決定。據了解,現在美國政府各部門對將AIM一二○飛彈運交台灣已達成共識。

AIM一二○空對空飛彈是軟體驅動、雷達導引的飛彈,可同時鎖定多個目標,具射後不理功能。

駕F-16千小時的曾繁緯──台灣TOP GUN

【記者高凌雲/台北報導】

中華民國空軍自1997年開始換裝F-16戰機,今年終於產生第一位飛行時數滿1000小時的F-16戰機飛行員,他是空軍嘉義水上基地的曾繁緯中校。曾繁緯表示,他對於能夠成為空軍第一位F-16戰機1000小時的飛行員感到驕傲,但這全賴飛行員、地勤人員、上級大家的合作,才能夠達成。

對於曾繁緯的優越表現,生產F-16戰機的美國洛克希德馬丁公司發行的CODE ONE雜誌,最近也將曾繁緯的經歷加以報導,使得中華民國空軍的訓練成果,在國際間受到重視。

曾繁緯是空軍在1996年派出的第一批接收F-16戰機種子教官,目前在空軍455聯隊4大隊服役,總飛行時數高達3000小時,飛過的機種包括T-34、T-33、T-38、F-5、經國號、F-16等各型教練機與戰機。由於曾繁緯的飛行技術優越,是繼郝光明退伍後,目前主要的 F-16 戰機特技飛行員,但因為空軍顧慮飛行員的安全,曾繁緯很少公開表演飛行特技。

據了解,曾繁緯在美國受訓時,曾經使用美軍的T-38教練機與性能優越的F-15C進行空戰模擬,曾繁緯兩度被判定擊落對方戰機,曾繁緯目前在空軍當中也曾擔任假想敵部隊的飛行教官,教官背章上的TOP GUN字樣,顯示空軍對他空戰技術的高度肯定

印度 Su-30MKI 服役的相關印度報導

The Press Trust of India
September 27, 2002 Friday
LD SUKHOI
Sukhoi 30MKI inducted into Indian Air ForceTaking a big leap in air power, India Friday became the
first country in the world to induct the multi-role Russian fighter aircraft SU-30MKI with Defence
Minister George Fernandes saying it would send proper signal to those looking at India with an
evil eye.

Considerded to be unmatched by any other contemporary warplanes like F-16s and F-18 Hornets, the
induction of 10 of these upgraded Sukhois with cutting edge technology from Russia, France, Israel
and a considerable indegenious content was done in the presence of Fernandes. He said India has
now become a major power in International Military aviation. India is the first country to get
these combat aircraft, which have systems designed to Indian aviation specialists specification
and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal S Krishnaswamy who was present said the Chinese
version of the Su-30 MKK was not as superior as the Indian version. With pressure building on
the border, having such an aircraft certainly gives an edge to our country, he said.

Unlike, the 1997 version of Su-30k, the new upgraded version has a multi-role capability and are
equipped with Air to Air as well as Air to Ground beyond visual range missiles having the
capability of taking on land targets from almost 100 kms stand off distance. When asked if such a
capability would now give the IAF a pinpoint surgical strike capability on the Line of Control in
Jammu and Kashmir as demonstrated by the Air Force in dealing with a Pakistani incursion near
Machil sector, the Air Chief said it was now for the country to bring about any changes in the
rules of engagement.

Immense possibilites are emerging as with the new precision capability you can now avoid
collateral damage, the Air Chief said on the use of airpower as counter terrorism weapon drawing
the attention to what the Americans had achieved in Afghanistan.

He said India had an open mind on the offer of co- development by the Russians of the fifth
generation fighters saying it was time for India to venture into collobrative armament development
as was the trend worldwide. Krishnaswamy said India before venturing into business- oriented
joint defence productions would have to take into consideration performance of battle systems and
cost effectivness of these.

He strongly defended Indias going in for multi-nation collobrations on various projects like
upgradation of Mig-21 bis and purchase of armament spares and asserted that New Delhi in the
present context of free market had the right to choice of picking up any supplier tailored to its
needs.

Ruling out any rethinking on the part of Government on the Advance Jet Trainers, Krishnaswamy
said the project was under process and could be closed shortly.

The Air Chief said the newly inducted Sukhois had as many as four major systems produced
indegenously including mission computers, electronic counter measures and communications as well
as some advanced sensors. He said with the acqusition by India of two mid-air refuelling tankers
IL-78 from Uzebkistan by January, the new Sukhoi could stay in the air upto six hours more.

印度考慮購買法國的 Mirage2000-V 及 Rafale

The Times of India. Bennett, Coleman & Co Ltd
The Times of India October 1, 2002
FRANCE OFFERS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FOR ADVANCED JETS

NEW DELHI: Even as the country goes ahead with its plans to construct six submarines based on the
French Scorpene design at the Mazagaon Docks, France has renewed its offer of technology
transfer for manufacture of advanced Mirage-2000-V and aircraft carrier-borne Rafale fighter jets
in India.

This comes at a time when the first squadron of the Russian Sukhoi-30MKI fighters has just become
operational in the IAF and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd is gearing up to manufacture 140 of these
multi-role jets under licensed production. Defence ministry sources said the French offer was
renewed during discussions held last week between Indian officials and a delegation from France,
which included officials from the Dassault Aviation company. India already has 40 Mirage-2000
fly-by-wire jets, which constitute two squadrons based in Gwalior, with another 10 jets in the
pipeline as wastage reserves.

The Mirage-2000-V now being offered is the latest version in this family of aircraft with much
more powerful engines, superior avionics and radars. The offer is being considered since the
long-term plan is to have six more Mirage-2000 squadrons, said an official.

The Navy is also in the process of choosing between the French Rafale and the Russian MiG-29K
fighters to arm the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, the acquisition of which is in the
final stages now.
