Part 2/6:
The Taiwanese military highlighted that out of the detected 47 Chinese jets, a significant number were located in strategic areas. Specifically, 26 jets were traced to the northern coast, adjacent to Fujian Province in China. Moreover, six were reported within the Taiwan Strait, while 15 more were spotted in the southwestern region near the island. This military positioning has raised concerns about potential hostile maneuvers.
According to a senior military source, these Chinese aircraft were engaged in simulated attacks on foreign naval vessels as well as practicing tactics to deter military and civilian flight paths. Such drills seem to form a part of China's broader blockade exercises, aimed at consolidating their control over the surrounding maritime territory.
