In the recent event of US naval C-40A's flight over the island of Taiwan, it was reported that PLAN Su-30 Flankers entered the island's air defense identification zone ().
In the radar image below, there were two flying objects much smaller than the other planes near the centerline of the strait, one flying toward the mainland and the other flying toward the island.
The first could be the Su-30s (with only one transponder turned on) returning to the mainland after they escorted C-40A off the island. The second looked like another dispatch taking a similar route on the alert for the possible turnback of C-40A transport.
