  • Republic of China Air Force – In 2011, it was reported that Taiwan would procure a 5th Generation fighter such as the F-35.[120] A renewed push for purchasing the F-35 happened in early 2017,[121] and again in March 2018.[122] However, by November 2018 it was reported that the Taiwanese military leadership abandoned the F-35 program in favor of the F-16V Viper.
