Chinese fighters buzz Navy patrol plane
navytimes.com
WASHINGTON — Chinese warplanes, in a dangerous maneuver, intercepted a U.S. Navy patrol plane flying a routine mission over the South China Sea on Tuesday, according to the Pentagon.
The incident is the latest in a series of unwelcome encounters between the Chinese military and U.S. military aircraft and ships in the region where China has increasingly asserted claims of sovereignty. It has filled in slivers of land in the sea to build landing strips and has challenged American naval vessels in international water.
“Initial reports characterized the incident as unsafe,” according to a Pentagon statement. It occurred in international air space during a routine patrol.
Tuesday’s encounter ran counter to the trend over the last year in which Chinese pilots had been flying in “a safe and professional manner,” according to the Pentagon.
