In response to rumors online that claim a Chinese Su-35 fighter jet had been shot down by Taiwan air defense systems, #ROCAirForce would like to categorically state this is fake news. We urge netizens to not spread it and strongly condemn this malicious act.

It’s incredible how quickly fake news spreads! #Taiwan is the top trend for a false report. Taiwan denies reports it shot down a Chinese Su-35 jet. pic.twitter.com/UJVdZwE5Ol

This was fake news.

BOTH PRC and Taiwan denied it, moreover, the Su-35 crashed into China near Vietnam’s border! The closest point of the VN/PRC to TW’s main island is 1310km away and 1223km from Fangcheng’s airport
The furthest point of TW’s main island is 393km from Xiamen’s Q
