May 14, 2021AMRAAM Missiles Tested for First Time in Taiwan
Taiwan has successfully tested AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) locally for the first time. On May 10, the F-16D Block 70 Viper aircraft successfully destroyed target drones in tests.
The U.S. Government has previously blocked Taiwan from conducting local tests of AMRAAM missiles due to China’s increased effectiveness in the region.
Due to the recent violation of Taiwan’s southwestern airspace and the situation in the South China Sea, the White House has given Taiwan approval to conduct the test locally. While the tests had previously been conducted in the United States, Taiwan’s F-16 pilots were training on missiles in simulators.
