In a statement issued on 13 July the MND said it “successfully detected 26 sorties” by People's Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft “in response to the US P-8A-type aircraft”. The MND added that these were fighter aircraft, including a number of CAC J-10s, atleast two SAC J-11s, seven J-16s, and six Sukhoi Su-30s.
“Among them, 13 [aircraft] crossed the centre [median] line of the strait and its extension line and entered the southwest airspace to conduct joint sea-air training with [PLA Navy] ships,” the MND said. “Another four [PLA Navy] ships co-operated in the implementation of combat readiness and policing patrols.”
