|text=After the shoot-down of the drone, Taiwan’s military rushed extra drone jammers — which can disrupt signals of approaching drones — to its bases on Kinmen and Matsu Islands, said Maj. Gen. Chang Jun-Shen of the Kinmen Defense Command. The two islands, with substantial garrisons, send soldiers to Shiyu, or Lion Islet, the tiny outlying island where soldiers shot down the drone. Fewer than 20 soldiers are posted on the islet, defense analysts said.{{...}}<br>“There is no evidence these commercial drones flown over outlying islands, including '''Lion Rock''', were under military control,” he said.}}
