I would be tempted to say the ROCAF is better then Germany. Germany's most capable AD plane is the F-4F with the APG-65 and AIM-120 while the ROCAF has Mirage 2000-5s, F-16A/B B-20s, F-CK-1s and 4 E-2s. Germany on last check does not have an AWACs but Taiwan does. Germany is more a compentent to NATO then a stand alone force and they don't have the big time external threat and the EF-2000 is not combat ready these days or in big numbers. Last check the ROCAF has more BVR-ARH s******* in its fleet as well. Germany is ahead with SEAD using the AGM-88 on the Tornado but thats really it when you think about it. Taiwan also has more BVR-ARH "s*******" then France and hell Russia/England/India.

Airforces are built around the threat they face and the conflicts they plan for after all...
