Image (http://www.voodoo.cz/falcon/old/f16147.jpg)

The F-16T is a multi-role fighter that is very capable at both air superiority and ground attack roles. It's avionics have been improved, allowing the F-16T to attack effectively beyond visual range. During development, major efforts were sought to keep down the cost of the final product. The F-16XL airframe was selected based on maneuverability and its low cost. A delta wing is used to reduce drag at supersonic levels. The F-16T uses the TN-2 turbofan which gives the F-16T a cruising speed of Mach 1.3. 3-D Thrust-vectoring allows the F-16T to achieve very tight turns, resulting in dogfighting capabilities similar to that of the Su-37. The standard radar on the F-16T is the Sky Matrix system Version One with a range of 80km. There is also a rear facing radar which has a range of 50km. Avionics are compatible to the Eurofighter's.

The F-36T is Taipei's next generation air superiority fighter. It has begun replacing the F-22s in Taiwan's air forces. It features state-of-the-art active radar cancellation technology and has the radar signature the size of a small eagle to defeat radars at range. The propulsion and thrust-vectoring on the F-36 are Ching-Kuo's pride and joy. Fully 3D, the F-36T is capable of ESTOL and VTOL as well as unsurpassed maneuverability which is also enhanced by the use of composite flexible materials. The TN-3 turbofan is capable of supercruising at the whopping speed of Mach 1.8. The ECM and ECCM suite on the F-36T is capable of jamming missiles and enemy radars more effectively than the F-22. To counter enemy stealth aircraft, the RQ-1000 phased radar onboard is enormously powerful. With the front radar able to detect a fighter sized object an enormous 480km away in detailed scan mode, 320km away in normal mode, and 180km away in stealth mode, even small radar signatures can be detected. The rear radar has a range of around 60% of the front one.

Nanfung missile (NF-I)
Function: Sea/Air-launched Anti-ship missile
Length: 3.9m (10.5m)
Diameter: 45cm (65cm)
Wingspan: 35cm (50cm)
Range: 40km A, 190km B, 380km C
Speed: Mach 2.2
Warhead: High explosive (1,100lbs)
Weight: 2,200kg A, 4,500kg B, 6,500kg C
Guidance: IR/Active Radar terminal, GPS navigation
Thrust: Solid Rocket motor producing 4,800lbs (6,000lbs)

The Nanfung A is compatible with most western aircraft. Although it weighs more than the AGM-84 Harpoon, it is just over half the weight of a SS-22 Sunburn, allowing it to be air-launched on even light strike aircraft. The Nanfung's lethality is unsurpassed due to several innovative features. Its high speed (3x faster than the Harpoon) gives the target little time to respond. Even if the Nanfung is targeted by CIWS, it still stands a good chance of hitting its target due to the presence of a DU tip protecting the motor and the warhead (The guidance and radar will be destroyed though). Based on the range of the Phalanx CIWS, the Nanfung will still succeed in hitting the target 90%+ times. On impact, penetration is almost definite. An AI onboard allows CIWS dodging maneuvers. A sea-launched version with much greater range is also available. Specs for the sea-launched version are in brackets.

Cost:
Nanfung A (Air-launched) - $0.6m
Nanfung B (Sea-launched) - $0.7m
Nanfung C (GPS Sea launched) - $0.8m

**Nanfung II (NF-2)**

A major upgrade to the earlier versions, with several new technologies. Designed to be surface-launched or bomber-launched. The missile's airframe has been subjected to extended redesign to decrease drag and increase penetration, with increased effectiveness against new generation trimaran and pentamaran ships. A propulsion upgrade featuring a pulse-detonation assisted supercruise capable turbofan. This improves the maneuverability and speed of the missile and allows it a re-attack capability. The engine also allows greater range than it's predecessor. The second generation onboard CIWS dodging A.I is based on software instead of hardware, allowing easy upgrades. A radar jammer is also included in the missile, which can effectively jam the AN/SPY-1 in most cases.
