China again sent fighter planes to Taiwan, Taipei warned Dragon
Tensions between Taiwan and China are increasing. China has once again sent 13 military aircraft to Taiwan’s air defense detection zone. This comes at a time when Nicaragua broke ties with Taiwan and established diplomatic ties with China.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said that of the 13 Chinese planes, two H-6 bombers and one Y-8 electronic warfare plane went deep into the airspace of southeast Taiwan. The other 10 aircraft included one Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft, one KJ-500 Third Generation Airborne, six Shenyang J-16 and two Chengdu J-10 fighter jets.
In response, Taiwan launched a combat air patrol, sent radio warnings and deployed air defense missile systems to track down the Chinese military fleet. Air Defense Identification Zones are early warning systems that help countries detect intrusions in their airspace. Let us tell you that China has been continuously sending war planes to the air defense area of Taiwan.
In the last two months, China has sent hundreds of aircraft into Taiwan’s airspace. Taiwan has expressed concern about this and has warned Beijing. Let us tell you that Beijing claims its sovereignty over Taiwan. However, the truth is that the two sides have been governed separately for more than seven decades.
Recently, during a meeting with US President Joe Biden, when asked that if China attacks Taiwan, will America protect Taiwan? Responding to this, Biden said that yes, we are committed to doing so. Taipei’s military tensions with China are at their worst in more than 40 years, Taiwan’s defense minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said after a record number of incursions by Chinese aircraft into Taiwan.
