Taiwan has Patriot systems. Don't know what version though. There are also domestic system based on the Patriot, with Raytheon's help. There are E-2 Hawkeyes flying AWACS mission. Taiwan's air force flies 50+ Mirage 2000-5s, 140+ F-16A/Bs, and 100+ IDFs (domestic variant of F-16). I think the F-16s have Slammer missiles. IDFs are equiped with domestic variant of Slammer (I think, judging on the shape). Mirages might have French missiles.
