taiwan-mirage-2000 Taiwan's air force scrambled fighter jets to track two Chinese Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft, which intruded into the island's airspace, a senior air force officer said on Tuesday, August 26, 2014. One plane entered Taiwan's ADIZ (air defence identification zone) at 8:33am on Monday, August 25, and another at 2:31 pm, en route to a disputed area in the South China Sea. The planes had taken off from the mainland's southeastern province of Guangdong. Taiwan scrambled Mirage 2000-5s and Indigenous Defence Fighters. "We followed them closely to make sure they left our ADIZ," Air Force Major General Hsiung Hou-chi told reporters, declining to say how many fighters were mobilised in the two missions.
