Twenty-one of these aircraft were discovered flying over the Southwest Air Defense Identification Zone and the Eastern Midline of the Taiwan Strait (ADIZ). The Ministry of Defense of Taiwan has named the following aircraft: JH-7, CH-4, SU-30*2, J-11*4, J-16*8, BZK-005, Y-8 ASW*2, KJ -500, and WZ-7.
As Taiwan’s defense ministry reports almost daily, this Chinese activity is not a unique incident.
Also, on Saturday, 9 planes of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and 2 of its navy ships were spotted in the Taiwan area. The Armed Forces of the Republic of China monitored the situation and reacted to these actions.
