AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
TaiwanAir Force exact named F-CK-1C Ching Kuo, F-CK-1D Ching Kuo component holdings; active, operational-reserve and training equipment excluding equipment in store, except explicit status exclusions stated below. November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national total or combat-readiness measure. Source armament/capacity counts are excluded. Family total 129 is the sum of distinct source-listed configurations: F-CK-1C Ching Kuo=103 + F-CK-1D Ching Kuo=26. The own literal variant/class identity proves each component; no prefix or sibling inference. Family total is estimated and consists only of the two explicit C/D configurations, not built-aircraft totals or A/B fleets.
Reported count for AIDC F-CK-1 · F-CK-1C / AIDC F-CK-1 · F-CK-1D. Service scope: Republic of China Air Force; does not replace a national total. 2 distinct quantity component(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Explicit source inventory scope: active; no other stock status or total inferred. Count column(s): in service: 103 / in service: 26. Origin: Taiwan. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. Dates are the count-cell citations' stated source period (2023), not the article revision. 2023 cited source edition.
