Chinese war planes made eight incursions into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Monday. That was the word from the Ministry of National Defense on Monday. That was the 32nd day and the ninth consecutive day Chinese incursions have occurred since September 16.
The ministry said the Chinese aircraft were one Y-8 anti-submarine plane, one Y-8 tactical reconnaissance aircraft, two Su-30 jets, two J-16 fighters and two J-10 jets.
Taiwan's Air Force scrambled planes to monitor the Chinese aircraft. It also issued radio warnings and mobilized air defense assets.
An ADIZ is the air space of a country used to identify, locate and control approaching foreign aircraft for national security purposes. Unlike territorial airspace, the concept of an ADIZ is not regulated by any international law or body.
