#Taiwan takes action - Chinese drone downed !

Taiwan's military for the first time downed an unidentified civilian drone that entered its airspace near an islet off the Chinese coast on Thursday.
The defense command for Kinmen, a group of Taiwan-controlled islands opposite China's Xiamen and Quanzhou cities, said in a statement released by Taiwan's defense ministry that the drone entered restricted air space over Lion Islet just after midday (0400 GMT).

It added personnel on the islet tried warning it away but to no effect, so shot it down. The remains of the drone landed in the sea.

There is no such thing as a civilian piece of equipment when it comes to the Chinese... Everything they have is dual purpose

The Russian failure in Ukraine has shown that numbers are irrelevant. The PRC has reverse engineered Russian junk, they have worse engines and avionics. The ROC has modern systems from the US and indigenous companies. The Chinese lack the capabilities to take Formosa but the smaller islands might become a target if they aren't going to take an assertive stands against Chinese aggression.

The word "Islet" is not Izlet but eye let.

China wants the Taiwanese chip development expertise, since the US is cutting them off from getting their chips now.

You outright refused to describe Taiwan as a nation, call Taiwan the loser of the civil war.
Get this fact straight, Taiwan IS a free nation. Taiwan can live at peace with Red China, but if Red China thinks it can take Taiwan, think again. Taiwan will fight.
Red China has never ruled the free nation of Taiwan's territory. The Communists never took Taiwan.
Taiwan was NEVER part of Red China.

When I was in High School I had a teacher that showed us a funny clipping from the Sunday Funnies. It was a picture of a mouse standing in front of a mirror, sticking his tongue out. The caption was mouse see tongue. She had to explain who he was to us, for us to see the humor of the cartoon.

Islet is pronounced "eye-let" NOT is-let!

[highontaiwan]

Kinmen is actually pronounced like "Jean Munn". Xiamen is pronounced "Shyah Munn".
