Not sure that the official diagram is entirely accurate. According to Taiwanese sources PLAAF aircraft loitered in the ADIZ zone for around 3 hours. The flight path drawn seems like that they could be covered a lot quicker than that.

It is also possible that China staggered the flights over the course of three hours, or that the Taiwanese news reported inaccurate info.

Yes. I always had doubts on those official diagram and plane pics

Could you please stop posting Twitter updates for mundane Chinese flyovers, maritime patrols, ship movements, or other routine activities? Sinodefence isn't a Twitter aggregator feed, not to mention your incessant Twitter links severely impacts page loading and performance.


Therefore I opened a new thread:

You may not be interested in these aspects of PLA watching but do not assume this is the case for all.
Stop trying to regulate posts according to your preferences.

Be that as it may, at least be able to read the room a little bit and put in some effort if you link to a piece of news.

A casual scroll through your contributions to the forum over this year shows the majority of your posts are direct links to twitter, punctuated by a few one liner posts.


It's fine if you want to bring attention to an article, but the way the forum is currently configured means that if you want to link to an article or piece of news you find interesting, at least try to provide some context for it. Because each page can only fit ten posts, meaning if you post one or two links to twitter per page, it can quite easily break up the flow of the page or the discussion if there was one already happening.

At best it comes across as a well intentioned but misguided way of contributing information and news to the forum.
At worst it is seen as low effort information saturation.



In the same way that we probably don't need to be aware of literally every officially documented and photographed flight of a J-10 or Flanker, but rather we use our own discretion and common sense to choose the ones which are interesting, different or able to promote some sort of discussion, please also use some discretion and judgement to choose which pieces of news or twitter links might be most beneficial to the interests and level of understanding of PLA matters that the users of this forum are used to.

This is not a warning, but a polite request at this stage, but as it is written in blue, it is a polite request as a moderator as well.
