The Eastern Theater Command said on social media that the drills involved a frigate, identified in its video as the Huanggang, as well as fighter jets, a tanker aircraft, an airborne radar system and an electronic-warfare aircraft.The stated goal of the exercise is to train air combat, obtaining air supremacy, providing air support to naval forces, and to test "joint blockade and control capabilities in a complex electromagnetic setting."China announced snap drills around Taiwan last Thursday in response to a visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking US official to come to the island in decades. Taiwan accuses China of preparing to invade, a claim denied by Beijing, which sees Taiwan as its own territory.
