A Chinese drone was discovered over the East China Sea, and Japan and Taiwan are closely monitoring it. Since they are afraid, why did they go there long ago
Recently, the Joint Staff Supervision Department of the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the discovery of a drone over the East China Sea. And the flight trajectory diagram of the drone and clear photos taken at close range were also released, indicating that the drone is likely to be China's TB-001 drone after speculation. Before confirming whether the drone belonged to China, the Japanese Ministry of Defense's Joint Staff Supervision Department released another message the next day, stating that three more Chinese planes were flying over the East China Sea, including the Y-9 intelligence gathering aircraft, Y-9 anti submarine patrol aircraft, and BZK-005 drone, operating from the East China Sea to the Western Pacific via the Miyako Sea Gorge. This is not the first time that China has sent planes from the East China Sea to the Western Pacific through the Miyako Strait. As early as April this year, the Eastern Theater Command of China had sent a Y-9 intelligence gathering aircraft and a Y-9 anti submarine patrol aircraft to operate near the southwestern islands of Japan. After four months, China again organized an air force formation to carry out activities. Although it is not clear until now that China has sent planes for two consecutive days, is Japan too nervous compared with countrymen's response to this? The Japanese side stated that China's first use of drones to travel to the Western Pacific through Okinawa has attracted close attention from Japanese media. After discovering Chinese drones, the Japan Air Self Defense Force immediately deployed fighter jets to respond. It is worth mentioning that on the day when China's TB-001 drone appeared over the East China Sea, multiple warships of the People's Liberation Army simultaneously appeared in the Soya Strait in northern Japan and the Miyako Strait in southern Japan, including the 054A missile frigate Yiyang and the 052D destroyer Zibo. If we look at it from this perspective, perhaps it is understandable that Japan is so nervous about the appearance of Chinese drones over the East China Sea, but why is the Taiwanese military also closely monitoring this? Is it related to the large-scale military exercises conducted by the People's Liberation Army for three consecutive days recently? It is reported that from the 17th to the 19th, the People's Liberation Army conducted large-scale sea air joint exercises in the waters surrounding southwestern and southeastern Taiwan, which caused a sensation on the island at one point. In the eyes of the people and soldiers, the PLA's big action military exercise is a response to the "Memorandum of Understanding on Maritime Patrol Cooperation" signed between Taiwan and the United States, which is the first time to conduct joint maritime rescue and anti-terrorism exercises secretly. The Taiwanese authorities believe that this move has completely angered the People's Liberation Army, so in the nearly week before and after the PLA exercises, the people and soldiers on the island have been plunged into great anxiety and unease. Now that China has deployed drones for two consecutive days, in addition to Japan's speculation that it was a response to the local government of Ishigaki Island, the Taiwanese military has also developed a sense of unease. Just because of a Chinese drone, Japan and Taiwan are closely monitoring it. Not to mention whether China's move has any purpose, the reactions from both sides alone are enough to show that the People's Liberation Army has already been scared out of their wits before doing anything. So unsettled, to put it simply, I'm afraid our army will launch some counterattack. Following the continuous confrontation between the United States and China, China's repeated warnings have had no effect. Is this still just a drone now? Speaking of which, since you're so worried and scared, why did you go there long ago? It's better to stop in time.Source: Military Intelligence of Strong Countries
