Taiwan scrambled fighter jets, issued radio warnings, deployed air defense missile systems to track PLAAF planes
Four Chinese military planes entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Wednesday (Jan. 27), marking the 23rd such intrusion this month.
Two People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Shaanxi Y-8 anti-submarine warfare planes, one Shaanxi Y-8 reconnaissance aircraft, and one Shaanxi Y-8 electronic warfare plane were detected in the southwest corner of the ADIZ, according to the Ministry of National Defense (MND). In response, Taiwan scrambled fighter jets, broadcast radio warnings, and deployed air defense missile systems to track the four turboprops.
