On September 10, Taiwan had an accidental crash into the sea with Mirage 2000 fighters imported from France, and Taiwan purchased 60 Mirage 2000-5 fighters in the 90s of the last century, thereby enhancing the strength of Taiwan's air power. It was also because France approved the export of Mirage 2000 fighters to Taiwan, and the then United States Bush administration immediately approved the export of 150 F-16A/B fighters to Taiwan, so Taiwan's air power reached a new height. Through the Mirage 2000 and F-16A/B fighters, Taiwan has surpassed the PLA in the technical level of fighter equipment, because the most advanced domestic fighter used by the PLA at that time was only the J-8II.
For Taiwan's purchase of Mirage 2000 and F-16A/B fighters, after the PLA purchased Russia's Su-27, it was able to reverse the passive situation, and now the PLA has been equipped with a large number of J-16 series fighters, but also has J-20 stealth fighters, so the PLA has achieved corner overtaking in the field of fighters, thus achieving the crushing of Taiwan's air power. The Mirage 2000 fighter jets purchased by Taiwan from France have completely failed to make waves, and although Taiwan is still using the Mirage 2000, it has already felt great worries, because the Mirage 2000 series has begun to age, including engine problems.
Taiwan is still investigating the specific cause of the Mirage 2000 fighter crashing into the sea, and when Taiwan is investigating the accident island, the ejection seat manufacturer of the Mirage 2000 fighter has decisively released an advertisement, because the Mirage 2000 fighter uses the F10QA ejection seat of the Mk10 developed by Martin · Baker. Martin · Baker's poster has used 7730 eye-catching numbers to reflect the number of pilots saved by the company's ejection seats, so it is already the rhythm of funeral, in fact, this is Martin · Baker's old routine to promote products, as long as there is a corresponding ejection seat successfully ejected, Martin · Baker will definitely release the corresponding poster.
Not all fighters on Taiwan are equipped with Martin · Baker's ejection seats, and Taiwan's current 140 F-16A/B fighters use the advanced ejection seat system developed by Collins, so when Taiwan's F-16A/B fighter encounters an accident and has an ejection seat action, Martin · Baker cannot take the opportunity to advertise. At present, most of the fighters developed by Western countries use the ejection seats of Martin · Baker, so once a fighter crashes, it is likely to become a "free advertisement" for ejection seat manufacturers. United States JSF joint attack aircraft developed by Lockheed · Martin also uses the ejection seat of Martin · Baker, which has played a role in many crashes.
At present, Taiwan has locked the cause of the crash on the M53 turbofan engine used in the Mirage 2000-5 fighter, from the time of the introduction of the Mirage 2000 fighter on Taiwan Island, the supporting engine has been used for nearly 30 years, so there will be many problems, for which Taiwan Island tries to invest money for the maintenance of the M53 engine, so that it can continue to use the Mirage 2000 fighter, but now France's attitude towards Taiwan has changed greatly, so even if Taiwan is willing to pay, There is also no chance of thorough maintenance of the M53 engine.
