Taiwan scrambles air force again after Chinese exercises in South China Sea
February 20, 2021 9:12 AM

"TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan’s air force scrambled for a second straight day on Saturday after a dozen Chinese fighter aircraft and bombers carried out drills close to Taiwan-controlled islands in the disputed South China Sea, the defence ministry in Taipei said."

..."After nine Chinese air force aircraft flew near the Pratas Islands on Friday, the Taiwanese Defence Ministry said it tracked 11 aircraft on Saturday - eight fighter jets, two nuclear-capable H-6 bombers and an anti-submarine aircraft, also near the islands."

"It said Chinese naval forces were also involved but gave no details."

Why I point out the bottom tweet. connect the dots. (related to an earlier thread research I did)


Reminder: The first Chief of Staff for the newly formed branch, the U.S. AirForce, was General Carl Spaatz. The group that advised him on Radar during WWII was the Advisory Specialist Group on Radar. Serving on that Group was John George Trump. John Trump worked with all the most important British radar experts. (Pioneer of Radar)

On January 8, 2021, President Donald John Trump, via DNI Ratcliffe, made Space Force the 18th member of the Intelligence Community.

For the first time since 2006, a new organization has joined the U.S. Intelligence Community. Today @DNI_Ratcliffe welcomed @SpaceForceDoD as the eighteenth member of the IC. pic.twitter.com/vZ24XcNAae— Office of the DNI (@ODNIgov) January 8, 2021

Specialist 3 Kyle Hackett: I decided to apply because I wanted to be able to tell my children that I helped pioneer a new military branch, just like the brave servicemen and women who originally created the Air Force.#SemperSupra https://t.co/tBRyo5JFEL— United States Space Force (@SpaceForceDoD) February 20, 2021
