MND mulls US$4b budget for 66 fighters
A Taiwan newspaper said that Taiwan will manufacture, assemble and maintain the F100-PW engines for its F-16 if a deal for 66 F-16 C/D Blk 52s is approved.

Pratt & Whitney officials have inspected the Taiwanese facilities and are confident that they can handle the job.

Citing sources in the Ministry of National Defense, the daily said the proposal will be submitted to lawmakers later this year.
