China Simulates an Attack of a US Aircraft Carrier While Sending a Record Number of Planes Into Taiwan’s Airspace
Chinese warplanes took to the skies over Taiwan and appear to have simulated an attack of a US aircraft carrier.
American Military News reports today:
Chinese warplanes appear to have simulated an attack on a U.S. aircraft carrier during Monday flights around Taiwan, multiple defense analysts told Newsweek on Tuesday.
On Monday, China sent a record number of warplanes into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), as part of an ongoing aerial campaign around the island. On the same day, the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group (CSG) sailed north of the Philippines’ northernmost island of Luzon, according to publicly available ship tracking data. Luzon lies directly south of Taiwan.
