I wonder if this will be a MLU like upgrade. Funny the US will not sell them C/D's, but will upgrade the A/B's to almost C/D standard.

Last time I checked the US didn't look likely to sell them the C/D models.

But then we can say to China, "see, we didn't sell them new fighters...."
Wonder if they'll be considered F-16CM and F-16DM standard models now?

Good article in last months Combat Aircraft about how Portugal is upgrading their F-16A Blk 15 ADF with a MLU. These upgrades will add JHMCS, laser and GPS guided bombs as well as Link 16 datalinks to the older A model, that would be a pretty big step forward if Taiwan did the same to their Vipers.
