large proportion of weapons and equipment from the United States are purchased from the United States. The largest number is the F-16A/B fighter jets. The existing 140 F-16A/B fighter jets on Taiwan are being modified. At that time, all of them will become the so-called F-16V Brock 20 batch models, that is, using the F-16V modification kit to "old bottles of new wine". The biggest feature of F-16V is that it uses active phased array radar , as well as more advanced avionics equipment, including fire control computers, etc. Taiwan has crashed a 20-batch F-16V Block fighter jet in 2022, and another F-16A/B fighter jet has made a landing in Hawaii. According to news released by the United States, the F-16 fighter jet suffered a landing gear failure at that time.
According to the news released by Taiwan, on the night of November 22, Taiwan military aircraft made another emergency landing. At that time, an OH-58D reconnaissance helicopter was conducting a night training mission, and a sudden failure occurred during the pilot. According to the pilot's description, the OH-58D reconnaissance helicopter alarmed that the rotor speed was too high, and it felt like the rotor was about to fly out. For this reason, the pilot took emergency measures and carried out emergency landings in the farmland near the airport. The helicopter developed in the United States has had rotor-off accidents, including the UH-1Y model, and the U.S. Marine Corps has had helicopter rotor-off accidents in Ryukyu. Faced with the alarm of the helicopter's rotor speed being too high, the pilots from Taiwan did not dare to neglect and immediately lowered the helicopter's altitude, thus carrying out an emergency landing.
OH-58D is a model that matches the AH-6*D armed helicopter. It can be seen from the photoelectric detection ball installed on the OH-58D rotor shaft that this is a platform for intelligence collection, and it can also carry weapons to attack. In addition to purchasing weapons and equipment from the United States, Taiwan also keeps up with the United States in training and combat readiness. OH-58D provides cooperation with AH-6*D helicopters is the tactic of the US Army. The United States has a lot of experience in using the armed helicopter field, so it can be used to learn from it in some fields. At present, there are few specialized developments of reconnaissance helicopter in the world, and they all obtain related functions through improvements.
rotor is the main component of helicopter flight. Once the rotor fails, the helicopter can only adopt a hard landing method. In fact, the helicopter will also face the problem of tail rotor failure, which will enter a spin state. It is very dangerous for pilots because the posture of the helicopter cannot be controlled. Russia has made unique achievements in the emergency escape of helicopters. The Russian Ka-52 armed helicopter is equipped with ejection seats. Once the helicopter is hit by an air defense missile or fails, the Ka-52 armed helicopter will first blow up the rotor and then eject the seats. However, during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Ka-52 ejection seat did not play much role.
In addition to purchasing OH-58D reconnaissance helicopters from the United States, Taiwan Island also purchased the TH-67 coach helicopter from the United States. Recently, there was an emergency landing of the TH-67 coach helicopter. At that time, the TH-67 helicopter had an engine alarm, and the pilot urgently dealt with the emergency landing in the open space. After the OH-58D reconnaissance helicopter crash landing, there have been two helicopter crash accidents in 2022. There are many military aircraft accidents in Taiwan every year, especially fixed-wing fighter accidents. Many fighter crashes in Taiwan have records of , and there will also be armed helicopter crashes.
