US Navy surveillance drone spotted flying just off southern tip of Taiwan, TW Military News.


Date of sighting: Dec 2020
Location of sighting: Taiwan Air Space

Now I saw a similar US drone over my apartment building just about two weeks ago. It was circling the area and then it moved off across the city. Yeah I know what they look like, I use to be a USAF SAC flight line airman working on B1s, B2s, and KC135 tankers. This was a drone I saw and it was a US drone too. These drones are armed and ready for combat against the Chines invading jets. So smart of America to use drones to fly over Taiwan and protect us in our hour of need. Thoughtful and caring of President Trump to keep an eye on Taiwans freedom and insure it stays safe.

Taiwan news states: TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Aircraft spotters detected a U.S. Navy surveillance drone flying just off the coast of southern Taiwan Wednesday (Dec. 9), well within the country's air defense identification zone (ADIZ). At 3:28 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, the Beijing-based South China Sea (SCS) Probing Initiative posted a tweet claiming that a U.S. Navy Northrup Grumman MQ-4C Triton was operating over the South China sea that day. Aircraft spotter Jort Enthusiast at 3:30 p.m. announced on Twitter that a USN MQ-4C with the Mode-S hex code AE5C76 was flying just south of Taiwan and "high above the South China Sea." Three minutes later, Twitter user Ketagalan wrote that the aircraft had passed through the Bashi Channel. At 3:35 p.m., aircraft spotter Tokyo Radar wrote that a U.S. Navy unmanned aerial vehicle was located to the south of Taiwan at an altitude of 46,000 feet at 4:24 p.m. Japan Time, or 3:24 p.m. in Taiwan. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense has yet to issue any comment on the drone's alleged flight.
