Unfortunately, if this is true, it is indeed a very serious loss to the intelligence network.supposdly the 10 offiers sold plans about taiwans defenfe plans on the east and west and outer islands.
Of course, considering the actual geographical environment of Taiwan Island, their deployment will not undergo any significant changes.
As long as we understand their defense strategy, the specific deployment location of the troops will not be very important.
Let's say something pleasant.
Analysis based on internal publications of ROCAF.
The article states that they have high expectations for the AN/ALQ-254 installed on the F-16 BLOCK 70/72 in the future. This electronic countermeasure component is believed to significantly reduce the radar detection range of the J-20.
The video mercilessly refutes this optimistic judgment.
ROCAF clearly underestimates PLAAF's level of informatization and weapon production capabilities. If you understand Chinese, you will find how terrible the following content is:
Seriously outdated news, they believe that J-20 only has a quantity of 35-43 in 2025! They also stubbornly believe that their enemies rely on command and have severe information delays. In future air combat, they will face the enemy with dispersed formations and a 2-1 numerical advantage.
The video mercilessly mocks that during the cross-strait air standoff in recent years, PLAAF often sees their opponents forming confusing large spacing formations. It is preliminarily judged that the enemy intends to use their data link advantage, but it seems to be a meaningless action.
The latter part is worth mentioning the despair of ROCAF officers. Faced with the absolute advantage of stealth fighters, in addition to obtaining new radar, reconnaissance personnel need to be dispatched to the airport where stealth fighters are deployed to monitor and speculate on their possible routes.
I thought you're suppose to use your 5th generation fighters as part of a larger system where aircrafts like KJ-500 hang in the rear and provide targeting data for sensor fusion with 5th generation fighters and their BVR missiles. As Xi pointed out, in this ROCAF publication they seem to project their own weakness onto PLAAF. ROCAF is down to five E-2K after the crash last year, perhaps similar to their projection with command and control they are projecting their own weakness in AEW&C onto PLAAF too.
Ironically this suggested tactics of relying on EW and dashing into dogfighting range against a 5th generation fighter to launch SRAAM missile sounds rather similar to the tactics envisioned decades ago for J-8 vs F-22, which later when experimented on in DACT exercises against J-20 was shown to be suicidal.

The F-16 already has a reasonably small radar return signal. Taiwan should try to further reduce its radar return with coatings or whatever.
They also need longer range air to air missiles and proper AEW&C.
Anyway, I think most of this is kind of pointless. They would be better off investing into static air defenses.

I can see why the Indians feel a bond with these people...
The F-35 is considerably more expensive than the F-16: the unit price of an F-35 is around 100 million US dollars, whereas an F-16 "only" costs around 30 million dollars.
Not if you buy a new one today.
