Taiwan Receives Two US AEW Aircraft

摘要

Taiwan received two upgraded early warning aircraft from the United States, the island's air force said recently, as part of an arms deal that upset China-US relations. The arrival of the E-2K aircraft in southern Kaohsiung city brings to four the number of such planes in Taiwan's air force, it said, after they were sent to the United States in 2010 for upgrades. Taiwan acquired four E-2Ts in 1995 and added two E-2K, an improved version of the Grumman Hawkeye series, in 2006.
