Focus Taiwan, the English division of Taiwan’s “official” Central News Agency, reported March 26 that 20 Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ), including bombers and fighter jets. https://focustaiwan.tw/cross-strait/202103260021
Among the PLA aircraft that allegedly participated in this exercise, reported Focus Taiwan, based on a report of Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, were 10 Chinese J-16 multirole fighters, two J-10 multirole fighters, four H-6K bombers, two Y-8 anti-submarine warfare planes, one KJ-500 airborne early warning and control plane and one Y-8 tactical reconnaissance plane. This is the largest deployment in this vicinity since at least September 2020. Britain’s Guardian called it the largest deployment yet. The ADIZ is an area that extends from a nation’s coasts outward 200 nautical miles, beyond its own airspace.
