CHINA-TAIWAN: 19 PLAAF AIRCRAFT ENTER TAIWAN'S ADIZ
|
The latest intrusion of Taiwan's ADIZ by China's PLAAF occurred in September in an area
northeast of Pratas Island. Taiwan's Defence Ministry released a map showing that the Chinese
aircraft flew in an area closer to the Chinese than Taiwanese coast. The PLAAF sent 10 J-16 and
four Su-30 fighters, as well as four H-6 bombers, which can carry nuclear weapons, and an antisubmarine aircraft. Taiwanese combat aircraft were dispatched to warn away the Chinese aircraft,
while missile systems were deployed to monitor them.
