BIG! Trump Deploys Aging F-16s to China Front; Xi’s J-20 Fighters Ready To Crush America’s Old Fleet

America’s strategically critical Kadena Air Base near Taiwan has been defended by F-16C Block 30 fighters manufactured during the 1980s. The Colorado Air National Guard deployment was extended as America’s expanding military campaign against Iran created additional demands elsewhere. Reports indicate the ageing aircraft required between 15 and 20 maintenance hours for every flight hour. As China expands its fleet of J-20 stealth fighters, Washington is simultaneously preparing for confrontations involving Iran, Russia and China—while relying on combat aircraft ageing faster than the Pentagon can replace them.
