Chinese Fighter Jet Did Top Gun-inspired Stunt On A US Navy Plane

[FAQ]

---

The US has lodged a formal protest with Beijing after a Chinese fighter jet conducted a barrel roll "very, very close" over an American Navy plane this week, the Pentagon has said.

Rear Admiral John Kirby said the Chinese plane exposed its undercarriage to show that it was armed to the P-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft during Monday's incident in international airspace near Japan.

He said the Chinese aircraft came within 30ft (9 metres) of the American plane, while the wing tips of the two aircraft were just 20ft apart.

Adm Kirby described the close encounter as "pretty aggressive, very unprofessional and unsafe".

Images of the encounter were released by the US Department of Defense. The pictures show the plane was close enough to see into the cockpit.

Not to be racist here but sa akong naobserbaran aning mga insik, ingana gyud na sila og batasan. Though naay mga buotan, naa sad gyud mga wa'y puangod. In my workplace, I have chinese colleagues. A few are good friends but some are just obnoxious, bad-mannered b*stards. So that pretty much explains this incident. Probably most of the b*stards are in their military and government.

Poking the arse of the US who have the EU at its side is never a very good idea.
They can easily obliterate China, let us say 10 times over?

They are just saying "Hello Americans". Ni attempt palang bump ang ang US jets sa mirror hehe tanawun nato asa dali ra ma buak. hehe

yeah that's all good that you can pull that trick. But I'll be impressed if they can live through a dogfight with an F-22.

You notice that the Russians and Chinese are very brave when confronting surveillance aircraft, but keep a safe distance from US fighters.

The U.S was doing surveillance on China. If such incident was a suveillance by China on the U.S. coast would the U.S just sit back and do nothing even if such was on international airspace? I don't think so. Also the U.S. is now showing some signs of weakness & China and Russia knows that.
