Taiwan scrambles air force fighters to warn off 27 Chinese jets in buffer zone
(Worthy News) – Taiwan deployed its air force Sunday in an effort to drive back dozens of Chinese aircraft that entered its air defense space.
China has repeatedly deployed aircraft into the area as part of “grey zone” warfare with the island country. Taiwanese officials fear that China executes these maneuvers to test Taiwan’s response and wear out its forces with repeated scrambles.
Taiwan claimed that around 150 aircraft from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have entered its air defense identification zone (ADIZ) since Oct. 1, Reuters reported. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
