TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As China began to send large numbers of aircraft into Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ), the country's Air Force on Saturday (Oct. 2) released a patriotic video meant to showcase its military capabilities and determination to defend the nation. 

On Friday (Oct. 1) during China's national day, a record 38 Chinese military aircraft violated Taiwan's ADIZ, though this mark was quickly surpassed with 39 more People's Liberation Army Aircraft (PLAAF) planes the next day. An additional 16 PLAAF aircraft appeared on Sunday (Oct. 3), and another record-shattering 56 planes breached the zone on Monday (Oct. 4), bringing the four-day total to 149 warplanes. 

In the midst of these waves of enemy aircraft, the Air Force on Saturday evening released a video on its Facebook page titled "Defend the Airspace and Never Compromise." The patriotic video flashes scenes of fighter jets taking off and intercepting enemy planes, E-2K Hawkeye early-warning aircraft monitoring airspace, and other air combat training footage.
