China's Sukhoi-35 crashes, suspected by Taiwan Video goes viral

Taiwan has reportedly shot down a Chinese Sukhoi-35 fighter jet after a long-running conflict with China. China and Taiwan have not yet commented. However, according to ABP News, Taiwan has shot down a Chinese Sukhoi-35 that has entered its airspace. Taiwan is said to have used an American-made Patriot missile defense system for the attack. According to some reports, China said the plane crashed due to a technical glitch.

According to media reports, Taiwan had repeatedly warned China not to violate its airspace. But even then, Chinese fighter jets often violated Taiwan's airspace. Today, Taiwan finally targeted a Chinese plane violating its airspace. It is reported that the pilot of the plane was injured. The incident is expected to further escalate tensions between the two countries.

For a long time now, there have been squabbles over border issues between China and other neighboring countries in the South China Sea. Opposition to China is also growing in neighboring Taiwan. Despite Taiwan's repeated warnings to China, which also claims Taiwan, China has not taken it seriously. It is claimed that Taiwan shot down the Chinese fighter jet in the same conflict. Taiwan has arrested an injured Chinese pilot.

The spark of conflict

The United States has warned its navy to be ready as Taiwan is expected to carry out the attack. Experts predict that if Taiwan did indeed shoot down the jet, it could spark a war between China and Taiwan. That is why there is an anti-China atmosphere in the South China Sea and China has disputes with many countries over the border issue. It is against this backdrop that the United States has increased the number of warships in the Pacific Ocean after a dispute with China over the corona issue. The picture is that Australia has also taken an anti-China stance. Therefore, if there is a conflict in the South China Sea at present, then all other countries can see the same picture against China.

Taiwan's explanation

Hours after the news went viral, Taiwan's air force clarified that it had not shot down any Chinese aircraft.

Taiwan has also said that the news in the media is a rumor.
