Taiwan receives first two F-16s after 5-year software delay

The jets are part of an $8 billion order for 66 planes placed in 2019, which faced long hold-ups over software issues. They landed at an east coast military base on Friday after flying in via Hawaii and Guam. Defence minister Wellington Koo said more will arrive soon, supporting an air force that tracks Chinese military flights almost every day.
