by Jon Grevatt
Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) said that it mobilised its combat aircraft on 23 January in response to a deployment of 39 Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) aircraft in its air defence identification zone (ADIZ). The incursion was the largest reported by the MND since October 2021.
In a statement the MND said the PLAAF aircraft were operating in the southwestern part of its ADIZ, close to Dongsha (also called Pratas) Island, which is administered by Taiwan. This position has often been cited by the MND as the location of increasingly regularly ADIZ incursions.
