More than 10 Chinese and Russian military aircraft enter and then leave KADIZ
Chinese and Russian military aircraft enter KADIZ, how did the South Korean military respond immediately and was there an airspace violation? Quickly check the background of the sequential entry after 6 months and its impact on security on the Korean Peninsula
About 10 Chinese and Russian military aircraft sequentially entered and then departed South Korea's Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) on the 27th. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said that there was no violation of South Korean airspace during this process.
According to the JCS, our military identified the aircraft before they entered the KADIZ and scrambled Air Force fighter jets to carry out tactical measures in preparation for any contingencies. The aircraft that entered were bombers and fighter jets, and they were reportedly part of the ongoing ChinaRussia joint air exercise.
This is the first time Chinese and Russian military aircraft have entered the KADIZ in about six months, since last December. The air defense identification zone is a concept different from territorial airspace, but when military aircraft from other countries enter it, advance notification and submission of flight plans are generally considered customary.
