Chinese fighter jet severely knocked off the course of an American reconnaissance aircraft

The US Army released a video demonstrating the "interaction" between the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) J-16 fighter (based on the Russian Su-27 - ed.) and the American Boeing RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft over the South China by sea. The footage shows a Chinese warplane making a series of "overly aggressive maneuvers" in the vicinity of an American reconnaissance vehicle, which is perceived as an attempt to intimidate the crew.

According to the US Air Force, their plane was carrying out a standard reconnaissance mission in international airspace when a Chinese fighter approached it. Unexpectedly and without warning, the J-16 began to perform a series of aggressive maneuvers.

However, despite such claims by the United States, the question remains as to what the American military aircraft was doing near the borders of China, since Beijing had previously warned Washington about its readiness to adequately respond to any provocations.

China has yet to comment on the situation.
