A Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously within 20 feet (six meters) of a much larger US air force surveillance aircraft over the South China Sea, the US military said Thursday.
WASHINGTON, United States – A Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously within 20 feet of a much larger US air force surveillance aircraft over the South China Sea, the US military said Thursday.In the December 21 incident, a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter pilot “performed an unsafe maneuver during an intercept of a US Air Force RC-135 aircraft,” the US Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement.
The RC-135, “was lawfully conducting routine operations over the South China Sea in international airspace,” the US command said. Last weekend, China flew 71 warplanes, including dozens of fighter jets, in military exercises around Taiwan, one of the largest such actions yet since Beijing started deploying military aircraft into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone.
According to an AFP database, there have been more than 1,700 such incursions so far this year, compared with 969 in 2021. Taiwan’s defense ministry said it recorded around 380 incursions in 2020.
