China intrudes Taiwan again, 20 Chinese warplanes enter Taipei's ADIZ

16 warplanes penetrated the southwest corner of Taiwan`s ADIZ, just northeast of the Dongsha Islands (Pratas Islands). The incursions seen this weekend are the largest recorded in such a short timeframe.

Taipei: Taiwan`s Ministry of National Defence (MND) has stated that 20 Chinese fighter jets intruded into Taiwan`s air defence identification zone (ADIZ) within the past 24 hours, reported local media. The ministry on Saturday (November 6) evening stated that 10 Shenyang J-16 and six Chengdu J-10 fighter jets had infringed on Taiwan`s ADIZ.

16 warplanes penetrated the southwest corner of Taiwan`s ADIZ, just northeast of the Dongsha Islands (Pratas Islands), reported Taiwan News.

The ministry later on Sunday (November 7) announced that four more J-16 fighter planes had violated Taiwan`s ADIZ. Similar to Saturday`s incursions, the four fighters entered the southwest corner of the ADIZ, again near the Dongsha Islands. Taiwan`s Air Force responded in both incidents by sending combat air patrol (CAP), broadcasting radio warnings, and tracking them with land-based anti-aircraft missiles.
