Recently, Chinese drones have continued to intrude on the outer islands, and have repeatedly taken pictures at the Kinmen military camp, which has aroused the attention of all parties. The Army’s Golden Gate Defense Command announced that it shot down an unidentified civilian drone on the 1st. In response, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China, responded angrily: “We have seen relevant reports. The DPP authorities are trying to take the opportunity to hype, create tension, and heighten the confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. It is extremely absurd.”
Recently, the CCP has frequently used civilian drones to infringe the Jinma and other defense areas at close range. On August 30, Tsai Ing-wen ordered the Ministry of National Defense to take necessary and strong countermeasures in a timely manner to safeguard national airspace security. That night, the unidentified drone entered the sky above the second tank. After the garrison warned the drone, the drone continued to hover. The national army immediately drove away with live ammunition, and the drone flew away in the direction of Xiamen.
On August 31, the drones harassed the Dandan, Caoyu and Lieyu areas again. The garrisoned troops fired and drove away. The drones flew away quickly and entered Xiamen. The defenders were shot down on the spot. The Ministry of Defense stated that the garrisoned troops should be dealt with in accordance with the procedures. After the warning was invalid, Tsai Ing-wen, who is also the commander of the three armed forces, ordered the national army to take strong countermeasures in a timely manner, that is, to shoot defensively and shoot them down.
Earlier, the spokesperson of the Mainland Affairs Council, Qiu Chuizheng, emphasized that my country is a democratic country under the rule of law, and all government units administer according to the law. Forcibly dislodged or forced to land. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin jumped to his feet and said, “It is pointless for the Taiwan authorities to exaggerate tension.”
