51 Chinese warplanes, 6 warships infringes on Taiwans air defence identification zone #IndiaNEWS #News
Taipei: Taiwan on Thursday reported that 51 Chinese warplanes and six warships breached its air defence identification zone (ADIZ) including 25 Chinese fighters bombers that flew east of self-governed islands median line.
Taiwans Ministry of National Defense (MND) at 7 pm (local time) announced that as of 5 pm, 51 Peoples Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) fighter jets and bombers and six Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels had encroached on Taiwans ADIZ. Of these aircraft, 25 had either crossed the median line or had been detected flying in the far southwestern corner of the ADIZ to the northeast of the Dongsha Islands, reported Taiwan News.
The 25 warplanes that had flown to the east of the median line were identified as 12 Sukhoi SU-30 fighter jets, six Shenyang J-16 fighter jets, four Chengdu J-10 fighter jets, two Xian H-6 bombers, and one Shaanxi Y-8 electronic warfare plane.
The MND said that it responded by scrambling combat patrol aircraft, issuing radio warnings, and deploying air defence missile systems to monitor the intrusions, reported Taiwan News.
That same day, Taiwans military displayed its Sky Bow III surface-to-air anti-aircraft defense system, 35 mm double-barrelled anti-aircraft guns, and its Tianbing (Skyguard) Air Defense System to the media.
Tensions were further inflamed on Sunday when another US congressional delegation travelled to Taiwan and amid this a social media post by the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) showed footage of the Penghu islands suggesting that its jets were on Taiwans doorstep.
Tung Pei-lun, the Taiwanese Air Forces vice chief of staff for operations, denied that the recent Chinese drills in the Taiwan Strait came near Penghu saying Beijing uses cognitive warfare. All this transpired over the visit of US politicians to the self-governing island days after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan which irked China.
China used the exaggerated tricks of cognitive warfare to show how close it was to Penghu, which is not true, Tung said while speaking to the media personnel on Tuesday, reported Russias state-media RT.
The PLAs Eastern Theater Command (ETC), the unit responsible for the region that includes the Taiwan Strait, has held navy and air force drills around Taiwan as a show of force following Nancy Pelosis visit to Taipei earlier this month.
Amid the heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait, the United States is planning to take steps in the coming weeks and months to counter Chinas military and economic activity around Taiwan.
Pelosis trip to Taiwan this month triggered a new round of tensions in the region. Ever since the visit of the US delegation, Beijing launched large-scale military exercises in the vicinity of the island, which included live-fire drills and military aircraft overflights close to Taiwans airspace.
