After Taiwan's defence minister said China is ready to invade Taiwan, the Chinese Air Force&nbsp;has reportedly parked&nbsp;the new J-16D fighter jet&nbsp;at an eastern airbase near Taiwan.

Earlier this week China had sent a record number of 56 warplanes to Taiwan escalating tensions between the two countries. Taiwan's defence minister later said that China has the capability to launch an invasion in 2025.

Kanwa defence review released pictures of J-16D fighters at the Xiangtang airbase in Nanchang, Jiangxi in May. Another photo reportedly taken in January shows the fighter parked in Zhejiang province. It reportedly has new hangers. Reports claim both hangers belong to China's Eastern Theatre Command.

The new version of the J-16D aircraft has reportedly been built to ensure it jams&nbsp;anti-aircraft defences closely mirroring the US Navy’s F/A-18G Growler.

It has the capability to degrade enemy radars allowing fighter aircraft to enter deep into the enemy's airspace. The J-16D also has air-to-air missiles.&nbsp;
