Beijing's violations of Taiwan's air defense identification zone feature an increasing variety of aircraft, from fighter jets to drones.

This aerial activity, which now occurs on a near-daily basis, is reported by the Taiwan Defense Ministry. The Taiwan ADIZ Violations Database, compiled by independent defense analyst Benjamin Lewis, illustrates a marked escalation in Chinese military operations near Taiwan in recent years.

    I went through the trouble of tracking the publication down:

    In more readable form:

    J-10A: 220 
J-10B:  55 
J-10C: 220
J-10S:  70 

Total: 565

    According to the source used by both lists, the numbers in the second list are complete nonsense. It’s not just limited to this plane and its variants though. J-11 numbers are also wrong, even though they also cite this source. I corrected these two and might go over the rest of the list later.
