Chinese Z-10 attack helicopter has, apparently, entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, and, for the first time, crossed the so-called “median line,” an informal boundary running down the center of the Taiwan Strait. The appearance of the attack helicopter, which is operated by both the People’s Liberation Army Ground Force and the Air Force Airborne Corps, and is also designated WZ-10, marks the latest new Chinese type to enter this sensitive part of the ADIZ. It also points to the growing importance of rotary forces around the Taiwan Strait, including the massive Chinese helicopter base that’s strategically positioned to support future operations in the Strait or even a potential invasion of Taiwan.
The Z-10 entered the ADIZ earlier today, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense. Also today, a pair of Ka-28 Helix anti-submarine warfare helicopters, a type operated by the People’s Liberation Army Navy Air Force, were recorded flying in the southwest corner of the ADIZ, after having taken off from one or more Chinese warships. It’s unclear if the sorties by the WZ-10 were coordinated in any way with those of the Ka-28s, which have appeared in the area before.
So what are we suppose to do about this air space entry? OK, their toy Helicopters are impressive, but what about feeding their people first? What about USA being twenty years ahead Militarily, Taiwan being supplied, War Strategist suggestions?
