Closer we get to the Taiwanese Han Guang exercise, the more intensively China manifests itself in the Taiwan Strait

The closer the timing of the Taiwanese Han Guang exercise approaches, the more intensively China manifests itself in the Taiwan Strait

On June 26, PLA aviation was active around Taiwan: 35 aircraft were sent to patrol around the island, of which 33 crossed the so-called. the middle line of the strait. Seven ships of the PLA Navy operated in conjunction with them.

I would like to note that the United States is also not asleep. If American reconnaissance aircraft P-8A and RC-135 fly off the coast of Taiwan almost every day, today a rare guest was spotted, namely the US Air Force E-3B AWACS aircraft in the Bashi Strait (flight track on the screenshot).

This is a rare case that gives reason to believe that the Americans are trying to uncover the number of PLA aircraft attracted and understand its tactics around the island.

The daily routine work comes from both sides, and then falls on the table in large offices in the form of reports. Everyone is trying to understand how to act in the event of hour X and calculating the risks.
