Taiwan Air Force

Taiwan's fighter force has increased by one-third over the past five years, with the bulk of the force now consisting of nearly 300 modern first-class aircraft. With deliveries to be completed in early 2000, Taiwan's air force will enjoy its greatest advantage relative to China in recent memory, though this advantage will erode over the next decade as Chinese modernization plans are eventually fullfilled.
