"China promptly issued a protest on Monday after a US Navy P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance plane flew through the Taiwan Strait"
Monday, their time, is still 2023-02-27, ie today.
Did anyone already identify which #USNavy Boeing P-8A Poseidon that was this morning?

Very likely, yes. 👇
🇺🇸 Has anyone looked up the Mode-S of the #USNavy P-8 Poseidon used in this piece, and put together the timeline of this story yet?
Mike is on the case, zeroing in on the time, which is what I needed! 😎
I'm presuming the flight was conducted with journalists from multiple outlets simultaneously. (NBC, CNN, more?)
Very interesting; if I'm not mistaken the #AusAirForce changed their emissions posture vis-a-vis their transponder between their 2020 and 2021 #OpARGOS missions. In 2020, either they didn't fly, or they obfuscated their patrols sufficiently to avoid open source scrutiny.
Before I explain to the #AusAirForce 🇦🇺 comms ppl, please appreciate that their P-8A Poseidon fleet broadcasts its own location to anyone who will listen, using ADS-B. That signal will geolocate them from orbit. On patrol, their locations are the least secret thing over the SCS.
This tweet, that has all the words in it you'd need to find it, gives you the tail numbers and ICAO Mode-S hexes of the whole #AusAirForce 🇦🇺 P-8A Poseidon fleet. You can follow them pretty much any day with the link that's included in the quoted tweet.
On 2023-02-09 #AusAirForce 🇦🇺 P-8A Poseidon A47-011 arrived at #KadenaAB 🇺🇸 on #Okinawa 🇯🇵as call sign #ASY150.
