BEIJING: China on Thursday warned the Philippines against taking any military action against its
drones deployed to monitor the disputed islands in the resource-rich South China Sea.

Reacting to remarks by a spokesman of the Philippine Department of National Defence (DND) warning that Chinese drones may be shot at if they enter airspace of Huangyan island called by Manila as Scarborough Shoal, Chinese defence ministry spokesman, Yang Yujun said "China is opposed to any military provocation in the South China Sea."

Yang defended China using drones to monitor disputed islands saying that move is "justified and legal,", state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Island, the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters, it said.

"Therefore, Chinese aircraft flying in the airspace in question is justified and legal," he said.

It's a simple case of bullying. China will first send in a drone; then manned surveillance vehicles; then warplanes, then landed missions, then whatever... until the Philippines militarily retaliates.

This is how every military conflict occurs. One side tests the other, until the other side retaliates, giving the belligerent an excuse to escalate it into a war. China does not necessarily think the Philippines will retaliate, so it will wear the island nation's resistance out through bullying until the disputed islets are coughed up.

Only the bullied can see a bully. The bully never sees itself as one.

Label China bully make you as much laughable as it ever gonna get. Philippine always said: we will be back at huang yan island when weather condition is better off. Now the weather is really good out there, Where are those Philippines?
 
Philippines should take a shot at the drones. That would be perfect for China.
 
The question is which kind of chinese UAV/UCAV could reach Philippines taking off from mainland? - 611 Soar Dragon? GAIC Pterosaur I? CAC TY-3? GAIC Sparrow Hawk II? ASN-209?

Whatever the choice, could Philippines shoot them down, and with what?

If they don't want to risk getting detected, it might be a drone like the RQ-170.
 
Even RQ-170 could be detected, actually no any flying object in this world could really be called "Stealth". By using various spectral detection means even a pigeon could be seen on the screen.

In the 70', D-21 UAV, the most "stealth" flying object ever build at that time, has been shot down by PLA who was using very primitive means.
