The Air Force Command Headquarters under the Ministry of National Defense reported to the Legislative Yuan that they have approached the United States and France to explore acquiring aerial refueling tankers and E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft. These efforts aim to enhance Taiwan's military capabilities with potential wet lease or purchase options. The initiative was pushed after a legislator's suggestion to strengthen the Air Force's strike capabilities amid increasing Chinese aircraft intrusions into Taiwanese airspace, leading to an approved proposal for assessment and procurement strategies by the MND.
