Not even close. Th F-16s is just another ....”had been”. Today it is nothing more then a sorry piece of junk when pitted against the likes of Su-30MK, J-12, Su-35s not to mention the stealthy J-20. All of them qualitatively superior to F-16s not to mention FAR superior in quantity and capability. The only reason why US is now ready to sell F-16s to Taiwan is because it has very little effect on the overall power balance against China.
Whoa, there cowboy
I've never said that the F-16 is the greatest airplane in the world. It's common knowledge that it's far from the best plane out there. There are superior aircraft almost everywhere - significantly more expensive - but there are better aircraft (not counting the F-35 or F-22).
What I am saying is that we do not sell our F-16's with the cutting edge electronics, ECMs, weaponry, radar and engines - we save the 'best' for ourselves. Taiwan is buying a proven airframe, they then can load the airframe with engines, radar, ECMs and other goodies that they either produce themselves, or from older technology that we do sell.
