Japan Sent Jets to Monitor the CCP Aircraft Carrier Drills for the Past Two Weeks

According to media reports on January 2nd, Japan said on Monday it scrambled jet fighters and dispatched warships over the past two weeks to keep tabs on Communist China’s Liaoning aircraft carrier and five warships that conducted naval maneuvers and flight operations in the Pacific.

Japan monitored the operations after the Chinese naval group, which included missile destroyers, sailed from the East China Sea between the main island of Okinawa and Miyakojima Island into the Western Pacific on December 16th, said Japan’s Ministry of Defense in a press release.

Before returning on Sunday, the Chinese Communist Party carrier conducted more than 300 takeoffs and landings of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. The Japanese Defense Ministry did not report any incursions into their territorial waters or skies.

Japan also reported that it had detected a Chinese WZ-7 drone flying near Miyakojima on Sunday and again on Monday, the first time Japan has spotted such a high-altitude drone in the area.
