This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

🇨🇳🇹🇼💥 China is upgrading three airfields - Longtian, Huyan and Zhangzhou, located in Fujian province, 100-200 miles east of Taiwan. Infrastructure construction has been underway since the beginning of 2020 and continues continuously.

Forward-based airfields are intended for the deployment of PLA Air Force aviation to carry out missions in the Taiwan Strait. Thus, China reaffirms its interest in constantly monitoring the airspace over the air defense zone of the Republic of China.

The following works were carried out at the Longtian airfield:
construction of 4 hangars to accommodate the duty forces;
construction of administrative buildings (barracks);
expansion of the apron and open parking areas for aviation;
construction of 5 warehouses for ammunition storage;
arrangement of a position for the deployment of air defense systems.

The following works were carried out at the Huyan airfield:
construction of three warehouses for storing ammunition, open parking;
expansion of the runway, apron;
construction of 4 hangars to accommodate duty forces in addition to the existing 24 hangars to shelter aviation;
arrangement of a position for the deployment of air defense systems.

In the immediate vicinity of the Zhangzhou airfield, the construction of a new starting position for the deployment of air defense systems is being observed.

❗️The modernization of airfields speaks of China's intentions to increase the survivability of facilities to perform further tasks in the face of growing tensions in the Taiwan Strait. In the near future, we expect to see intensive activity of the PLA aviation from these airfields, as well as the conduct of airborne operations. There will be no descent for Taiwan, it will soon be in the strong embrace of Beijing.
