Taiwan Readies Combat Jets for Defense

Taiwan activated fighter jets to potentially engage in combat after 39 Chinese aircraft trespassed into its claimed air defense zone.  Elements of China’s air force have entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, nearly every day since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the island in March. The incursion involved four H-6 bombers, 21 fighters jets and support aircraft, according to the island’s defense ministry.
