CNN —China flew a record number of fighter jets and other warplanes around Taiwan during its large-scale military drills on Monday, the island’s Defense Ministry said. No Chinese warplanes were spotted entering Taiwan’s sovereign airspace, a step that would be considered a major escalation. While not directly comparable, the spike in Chinese warplanes on Monday superseded the previous daily record in September 2023, when 103 Chinese military aircraft were detected operating around Taiwan in a 24-hour span. In response to the latest incursions, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said it employed its own aircraft, navy vessels and coastal missile systems to monitor the activity. Armed military vehicles patrol outside the Songshan Airport in Taipei on October 14, 2024 during Chinese military drills.

☆ Almost half of Taiwan's aircraft isn't ready for war, and its air force doesn't have a coordinated radio network to stave off a Chinese invasion: Pentagon leak

China is likely to swiftly gain air superiority in Taiwan if it goes to war, per Pentagon leaks. Pentagon assessments seen by The Washington Post present a bleak outlook for Taiwan's air force. The leaked documents seen by The Washington Post say barely more than half of Taiwan's aircraft is fully ready for combat missions, and that Taiwan's own officials doubt their air defenses can "accurately detect missile launches." Additionally, the island's air force is trained to shoot at single, stationary targets, per the intelligence seen by The Post. The leaked intelligence comes as US-China relations sour and as lawmakers in Washington signal closer ties to Taipei.
☆ Photo catches Taiwan pilot with a patch of Winnie the Pooh getting punched in the face — a jab at China's Xi as Beijing ups the pressure

Amid this, Taiwan's defense ministry published a photo of a patch worn by fighter pilots. The patch depicts a cartoon Winnie the Pooh getting punched by a bear — a dig at Xi Jinping. Her visit stoked ire in Beijing, with China's defense ministry calling it "provocative." Beijing's defense ministry said the war games — dubbed "Joint Sword" — are meant to be a "stern warning" to Taiwan, which sharply criticized the exercises. #ROCArmedForces have monitored the situation and tasked CAP aircraft, Navy vessels, and land-based missile systems to respond these activities," Taiwan's defense ministry wrote in a statement posted to social media.
