The Diplomat: Taiwan Repels Chinese Fighters After US Military Transport Flies Over Its Airspace

Taiwanese fighters repelled the Chinese aircraft after verbal warnings.

The Taiwanese air force chased off multiple Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) fighters that entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone on Tuesday, the Taiwanese Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

According to the statement, the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF), as Taiwan’s air force is formally known, deployed fighters to repel Chinese Su-30 Flanker fighters. The PLAAF fighters were given verbal warnings to leave Taiwan’s air defense identification zone.

The incident followed a transit of Taiwanese air space, with permission, by a U.S. C-40A Clipper military personnel transport aircraft — a variant of the civilian Boeing 737. The Taiwanese Ministry of Defense noted the American flight had taken place with permission and that the U.S. aircraft did not land on Taiwanese soil.
