TAIPEI, TaiwanâChina is showing no sign of easing its aggression against Taiwan in 2022, after the Chinese military sent 39 military aircraft into the islandâs air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Jan. 23, a record high in a single day this year.
The latest incursion involved 34 J-16 and J-10 fighter jets, one H-6 bomber, and four aircraft with electronic warfare capabilities, according to Taiwanâs Ministry of National Defense. In response, Taiwanâs military scrambled fighters, issued radio warnings, and deployed air defense missile systems to monitor the activities.
Chinese warplanes have been making forays into the islandâs ADIZ since September 2020, when Taiwanâs defense ministry began releasing information on the incursion amid a significant increase in the number of such flights.
