Despite Taiwan having a total of 332 Ching Kuo, F-16, and Mirage fighters, none of these has long-ranged air2air missiles in excess of 60 km.
Viet Nam's 36 Su27 & Su30 are armed with R-27 & R-77 air2air missiles having the range in excess of 130 km. In a conflict, Vietnamese Airforce can shoot down all the Taiwanese fighters before Taiwan can even fire a missile at our fighters. This does not even mention Taiwanese airforce institution has never demonstrated its ability in air to air combat against even a third-rated airforce in its history while the Vietnamese airforce institution have demonstrated our ability in air combat against a 1st rated airforce before.
Taiwan picking a fight with Viet Nam will result not just in its depleted airforce losses but even the loss of its independence from China as the Chinese will take advantage of a weakened/destroyed Taiwan airforce
