A new drone model has been detected in the Sea of Japan.
Japan's Self-Defense Forces scrambled F-15 fighter aircraft on Monday to intercept a Chinese Air Force drone making its first appearance near the country's southwestern islands, its Defense Ministry said.The Joint Staff Office in Tokyo said Japanese Air Force jets were launched to head off a possible airspace violation by a Wing Loong-10 unmanned aerial vehicle, which had entered Japan's air defense identification zone but not its territorial airspace.
Last month, the Joint Staff said Japanese aircraft were launched 13 and 28 times, respectively, against nearby Russian and Chinese planes.A photograph captured by a Japanese pilot and included in the report showed the WL-10 painted in gray and white livery, the same Chinese Air Force color scheme displayed on the UAV in 2022 at the country's largest annual air show in southern Zhuhai.
