They know it’s going to become theirs soon anyway.
On Tuesday, a Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) fighter entered South Korea’s air defense identification zone (Korea-ADIZ, or KADIZ) for more than four hours without notifying South Korean authorities.
An ADIZ is a transition zone in which aircraft are identified and if necessary ‘controlled’ by air traffic and defense authorities. The U.S. Navy’s Commander’s Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations states that the ADIZ applies only to commercial aircraft intending to enter U.S. sovereign airspace, with a basis in international law of “the right of a nation to establish reasonable conditions of entry into its territory”.
The manual specifically instructs U.S. military aircraft to ignore the ADIZ of other states when operating in their coastal areas. It says U.S. military aircraft not intending to enter foreign national airspace should not identify themselves or otherwise comply with ADIZ procedures established by other nations.
