U.S., Taiwan to upgrade combat data network in face of China threat

Revamped Link 16 will connect to F-16V fighter jets, Abrams tanks

The U.S. and Taiwan will revamp a military communication system to improve their armed forces' ability to work together in the event of aggression against the self-governing island.

The upgrade to Link 16, which enables the exchange of tactical data in real time between military platforms and units, will make it compatible with the advanced F-16V fighter jets, M1 Abrams tanks and other military equipment arriving from the U.S.

The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026. U.S. defense officials have said China is making preparations to be able to invade Taiwan by 2027.


Things are getting interesting that is for sure.

I still say there is no way China will invade anyone, it would cost them too many customers.

WWIII will eventually begin. Europe doesn't even have the capacity to manufacture their own military gear. This is what happens when American diplomats focus on their career and making bank rather than the threats that face the West. There has been zero pressure from the U.S unless it was to pressure Germany to get on board with climate change and submarine their own energy efficiency via nuclear power.

Anyone who doesn't get hit with a rocket, bullet or nuke.

so nobody.

That being the case, why would anyone start it?

You need to find something new to live in fear of.

Do you know that hours before Russia attacked Ukraine that the Europeans, including Germany and France along with Zelensky himself scoffed at the idea that Putin would attack Ukraine?

Go ahead, don't take the signals and actions being sent around the globe, from China sending 125 vehicles to the Taiwan border to N Korea sending 10k troops to Russia, confirmed by S Korean intelligence by the way.

Everything is ok, no need to concern, as you were....

And by doing so, Russia has been proven to be a paper tiger. They have doomed themselves.

I hope they do not rust sitting in the ocean like that.
