20 PLA aircraft enter Taiwan's ADIZ after Taipei and Washington sign coast guard co-operation agreement

by Gabriel Dominguez

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) accused 20 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft of entering the island’s Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) on 26 March, a day after Washington and Taipei signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on coast guard co-operation.

The MND said in a statement that the aircraft included 10 J-16 and two J-10 multirole fighters, four H-6 strategic bombers, two KQ-200 anti-submarine warfare (ASW)-capable aircraft, as well as one KJ-500 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform, and one Y-8 reconnaissance aircraft.
