Taiwan - Taiwanese soldiers have fired live ammunition at a Chinese drone that had intruded over one of Taiwan's outer islands for the first time, on Tuesday, August 30th. Taiwan had warned on Sunday, August 28th that it would shoot down Chinese drones that did not heed their warnings.
Taiwan had warned on August 28th (Sunday) that it would shoot down Chinese drones that did not heed their warnings.
The Army's Kinmen Defense Command (KDC) stated on Tuesday that at 4:23 pm, three groups of three "civilian" drones had been detected flying above Dadan Island, Erdan Island, and Shi Islet in Lieyu Township, of Kinmen County. Taiwanese soldiers then fired warning shots with signal flares, at which point the Chinese UAV flew away, toward Xiamen, China.
At 5:59 pm, an additional drone flew into airspace over Erdan Island once again, at which point Taiwan soldiers again issued warnings, this time however they "fired defensive shots to drive away" the drone, as the drone kept circling over restricted waters around Erdan Island. After this, the drone flew toward Xiamen China at around 6 pm.
The KDC said that they will "continue to maintain vigilance and closely monitor the situation".
On Sunday, the KDC had said that they would be heeding a four-step process when it comes to dealing with Chinese drone incursions, including "firing signal flares, reporting the intrusion, driving the drone out, and shooting it down". I found this on the The Standeford Journal, on the following page: https://www.ssj.news/news/asia/2022-08-30/taiwanese-soldiers-fire-defensive-shots-at-intruding-chinese-drones-for-first-time.php
Warning shot at a drone
weird
Never a good thing when the fire flys.
Guessing if you don’t hit the target it can be classified as a warning shot. When will branDUHn condemn this aggressive act by Taiwan?
Our local neocons were starved for blood until yesterday.
This will be nice and fresh.
Huh???
Why don`t they just send up a killer drone?
Even a 3rd grader can figure this one out.
It`s drone-to-drone air dogfight combat.
Don`t they even have video gamnes in Taiwan?
So Xi is an ally of ours and of Donald Trump. Interesting take.
The Chicoms are not going to wait until Trump or DeSantis is President. They’re going to invade Taiwan while there is a weak, feckless individual, i.e. Biden, sitting in the WH.
Not exactly the shooting Franz Ferdinand.
Even a homeless guy can figure this out:

POTATUS’s handlers probably caused it. They need this world goobermint quick before people actually figure it all put.
No, the enemy of our enemy is not our ally. The deep state is for itself and is closely aligned with the Davos types.
The Davos types were china's biggest cheerleaders until the latter grew so strong that it now threatens the former's role as the rulers in the new global world order. Now they are turning on china. One only has to peruse the pages of The Economist from four years ago and compare to their current reporting/editorializing. The worm has indeed turned.
The deep state is the enemy of the enemy of America. China is the enemy of America. The Davos cult is the enemy of America. Russia is not our friend. Neither is Ukraine. They are all against Trump.
We are on our own. Hence Trump is necessary to the cause of Freedom.
Using live ammunition, no less. Guessing that blanks were not scaring off the blackbirds. Oh wait, that’s only in cornfields.
These islands are part of what used to be known as Quemoy, now Kinmen County.
They are about 3 miles off shore of the city of Xiamen, PRC.
Dadan has what appears to be an airstrip at 24.388490, 118.163137 , but the island also looks pretty abandoned.
Fourth Amendment encroachment.
Or is it, men with toys.
Maybe Japan or Korea can help Taiwan?
(world goobermint quick before people actually figure it all out.)
Daniel 7:23
New King James Version
23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
