Chinese warplanes entered the air defense zone of Taiwan – World – tsn.ua

On May 6, China launched 18 of its aircraft into Taiwan’s air defense zone. The Taiwan Air Force took to the air for protection.

Taiwan has repeatedly complained about the violation of its space by Chinese aircraft.

About it writes Alarabiya News, citing the Taiwan Ministry of Defense.

Note that the Chinese planes were not in the sky over Taiwan, but in the country’s air defense identification zone. This is a wider area that the state controls and patrols.

“Taiwanese fighter jets were scrambled to warn Chinese aircraft, and air defense missiles were deployed to monitor the actions,” the Taiwanese defense ministry said.

At present, the Chinese Ministry of Defense has not commented on the situation in any way.

At the same time, Taiwan continues to remain on high alert due to fears that China will use Russia’s war against Ukraine and try to occupy the island.

Recall, the day before, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that a war similar to the Ukrainian one could unfold in East Asia if the states that are regional leaders do not act to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait area.
