〔記者蔡宗憲/屏東報導〕台海周邊空域交鋒不斷,昨日(20日)上午約11點50分,西南空域(TAIWAN ADIZ)再現緊張對峙情勢!中共無人機突然竄出,在該空域針對美軍KC-46空中加油機進行驅離;美軍機隨即透過無線電回擊強調「國際航行權」,而闖入我防空識別區的中共無人機與相關軍機,也遭到我國空軍運用中、英雙語廣播強勢驅離,隨後該架中共無人機便轉向台灣東南海域持續前進。

根據即時航跡與畫面顯示,當時美軍KC-46加油機由東向西飛行、高度25100呎;中共無人機則由西向東迎面而來、高度26500呎,雙方幾乎在空中正面交錯。面對中共無人機逼近挑釁,美軍機隨即透過無線電回應,強調執行國際空域的合法航行權;而闖入我ADIZ的中共軍機,隨後也遭到我國空軍廣播強勢驅離。
軍事粉專「TAIWAN ADIZ」指出,KC-46加油機出沒時,後方往往伴隨戰鬥機群進行戰術支援。面對這起罕見的無人機與美軍機接近事件,若非無人機操作,飛行員面對可能遭美軍機群包圍的態勢,現場緊張程度絕對破表,所幸雙方未釀成進一步衝突。

The Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX CEO Musk ordered to limit the speed of the Ukrainian military version of Starlink "StarShield", affecting the Ukrainian military's drone operations.

The U.S. Department of Defense released a new version of the "How the Army Fights" guide, listing the People's Liberation Army as a major threat.

Lieutenant General Hilbert, commander of the Eighth Army of the U.S. Army in South Korea, said that if the troops receive orders, they must be prepared to deploy to areas outside the Korean Peninsula. It is irresponsible to only focus on local threats. This move reflects the United States’ adjustment of the mission scope of the troops stationed in South Korea to respond to broader security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.

A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet test aircraft was recently photographed carrying two long-range air-to-air missiles, the AIM-174B and the AIM-260A, over southern California.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier set sail from the Yokosuka base in Japan on the 19th to participate in the US-Japanese "Sharp Sword 27" joint military exercise, and will then rush to the Middle East.
