🇹🇼🇺🇸 Taiwan got the first 2 of 66 new F-16s, three years late and a week after Trump sat with Xi
They landed today at Chihang, on the east coast, with tail numbers 6727 and 6728.
The $8B order dates to 2019. The jets left South Carolina in August and waited in Hawaii.
Taiwan’s defense minister, Wellington Koo, says more will arrive before year-end.
The full batch takes the F-16 fleet past 200, based on the side of the island farthest from the strait.
2 jets don’t change the balance, but the delivery schedule does.

A Tennessee death row inmate remains unconscious and on a ventilator following a failed execution attempt involving two doses of pentobarbital, drawing renewed scrutiny to state execution protocols. The inmate, Christa Pike, survived the attempt on Wednesday, prompting her attorney, Randy Spivey, to condemn the state’s actions for failing to maintain basic human dignity. In response to the failed procedure, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced a halt to all executions through the end of the year while a comprehensive investigation is conducted.
The controversy highlights an Arizona connection through Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada, who previously served as deputy director of the Arizona Department of Corrections. During his tenure overseeing prison operations in Arizona, the state experienced significant issues with lethal injection procedures. Notable instances in 2022 involved prolonged attempts to establish IV access during the executions of Clarence Dixon and Frank Atwood.
Following those troubled executions, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs paused lethal injections and appointed retired federal Judge David Duncan to review the state’s procedures. Duncan concluded that lethal injection is not a workable method due to issues with medical personnel availability and drug sourcing, recommending firing squads as a lower-risk alternative before being removed from his position. While Arizona resumed executions in 2025, Tennessee now faces similar challenges surrounding its death penalty administration. FOX 10’s Jacob Luthi reports.
