>>ready to scramble its four fully loaded F-16V fighters<<
Four?
All at one time - can they afford the fuel?
They’ll need a lot more than that!
“Four?”
Taiwan has one advantage: they have a will to live keep their independence.
That is something even the United States doesn’t seem to have.
Could they be only counting the ‘V’ version? As for the other F16s it looks like it is close to 150. Also says they have 60 Mirage Jets.

That fleet will last nanoseconds in all out combat. Wow!
