I can't find the post now, but someone here also posted that the upgraded F-16A to "V" standard is not really comparable due to the older engine. I have listed some alternative links to give similar information. Note that all current "F-16Vs" in Taiwan are the upgraded kind as the new builds have not even really started (see below)
For one, the "Viper Shield" EW suite (which includes the RWR) which is to be installed in the new build F-16Vs was not even ready in time for the old/upgraded F-16s when the work was done in 2023
Viper Shield testing only recently completed late 2025
By the end of 2028, DPP might have their J-10C equivalent... (what happened to Davidson's window? can you tell me Luckey?)
If meetings with KMT go well, perhaps PRC can give ROCAF a break on retiring J-10Cs...
You know I really wonder how that went, they're skipping this year's parade so unfortunately no way to see if they got the VT-4s. Also, Davidson's Window is such a cringe ass arrogant name lmao
A screencap from a NORINCO marketing CGI showing the single-pod SR-5 MLRS and the King Dragon 300 TBM integrated on a FAW MV3 4x4 chassis, this setup would also be a handy addition to the Mengshi III.

I find a popular claim from Bilibili that Chinese ZPT98 125 gun has three versions which he claims“ 一步 二步 三步炮” version1 version2 version3. The one sold to Thailand is version1 which is inferior to what PLA is using. Is there any sources back up this claim?
Is it true ZPT98 gun has been improved to different standard overtime?

Superior Japanese engineering efficiency. They can skip the investigation, court marshal and firing squad steps. Just think of all the time and money they just saved!
Chinese tank gun exploded after Thai crew fired 200 rounds in a day under live combat jungle conditions in which the barrel got clogged by dirt and soot. What excuse does the Japanese have?
Probably improperly stored ammo that develop crack on the casing.
