Chinese fighter jet buzzes U.S. navy plane

The US shouldn’t have to apologize, Wang Wei, the pilot of the Chinese jet, was reckless and flew too close and crashed into the US plane. He died and the US plane was forced to emergency land in Hainan. If anything, China should apologize. Not to mention that this took place over international airspace, the US plane only entered Chinese airspace because it needed to land.

​@@benson4820 They need to apologize for the offensive at the China military Airport because they land there without permission. I'm Chinese and I believe in some points of facts, I do get affect by the public of the Chinese communist government. But what I think is not appreciated is the United States government's Honours the pilot on the Ep-3E surveillance plane. In fact, Whitehouse just responded to a Su-27 crashed down an MQ-9 down in the Black sea, and Russia honours the pilot of the Su-27 as the hero of the country. John Kirby says "He is an idiot." "No one will honour a pilot who crashed a drone down.” Is literlly Self-deprecating.

[@samkeyho4200]

What provocation US is talking about? what business does US have to put a drone outside their national airspace?

[@Albisriede]

Anything 'American' is called 'routine', even if it's thousands of miles from its own shores, nosing around other countries boundaries. When others respond to such nosing it's called provocative or 'endangering their crews'. The Chinese fighter may have shown its weapons load, but the also mentioned Russian plane was unarmed, as other reports point out. What is not mentioned in this report, is that the Russian plane was able to completely disarm the american Warship's electronic gadgetry, forcing it to abandon its mission, just like you turn off the TV with a remote. All this could be prevented, if we kept our noses out of other countries' affairs and instead made some improvements here at home.

[@jdarksword]

Flying over international waters is allowed, China is manufacturing land in order to push its borders farther out so obviously we will take interest. China is acting like they own these international waters by sending interceptors up to turn us away from territory that is imminent owned by all. This is going to end with a shoot down of a P-8 over international waters causing China to get a hellstorm of backlash.

[@jdarksword]

Also where did you get that info about the Russian jet disabling the sensors on the P-8? I'll tell you right now that it's bullshit.

[@Albisriede]

+135th Darksword ~ Don't tell ME, I don't need to know, tell those who came up with that. Just search the internet. And as to 'backlash', America will certainly get hers. More than at any time before, America is perceived with disdain, seen like the big bully kid on the block, pushing everybody else around. Why else would we have some sort of military presence in at least 130 countries around the world? Because we feel so secure? Or is it because we provide lifestyles for >70% of our planet's lawyers, and that while only amounting to 5% of its population? Or could it be because we provide the world's largest marketplace, which explains that we use 25% of the world's energy resources? At least we're down from 40% as other countries are surpassing us in education and lifestyle quality. America, America, your Zionist owners will throw you on the trash heap, once their agenda has been fulfilled.

[@Albisriede]

+John Benton Indeed, I do live in this country and what you've stated is absolutely correct: While others (above) accuse China of "manufacturing land" we continue manufacturing wars. So, because we're also the greediest country on the planet, who complains when others engage in expansionist agendas "just like us". This could make sense, if China - whose population is 4x that of the U.S. - was also 4x greater in land mass. But it's not.

[@cheejudo]

Karl, you seem confused. The area in which us navy planes navigate are either 1) international waters or 2) allied country waters. regardless of what your tiny brain wants to conjure up, the us navy does not violate anyone's maritime territories.

[@infoworld7706]

[@Jason21Fan]

Nick5220 - nope its a su-27k

[@dsong2006]

Jason Fan Its not a Su-27K, its a J-11B which is a domestic, modernized version of the Su-27SK with a better performing Chinese radar(possibly AESA), IRST, MAWS and a whole suite of Chinese avionics to allow it to fire Chinese PL-8/9/12 missiles. Its much better than the original Su-27K.

[@tinyrodent2821]

Lol american planes can border China's borders but if the Chinese try to get near an American ship (why the fuck is America in the south Chinese sea ?) it's wrong

[@tinyrodent2821]

[@jaykoo]

It happened in Hainan island, not those islands in south china sea. Go check the google map

[@chilo31416]

The mentioned "Chinese Jet" is an J-11B which is an upgraded design based on the beautiful soviet Sukhoi SU-27SK air superiority fighter. Regardless of politics it is a beautiful and capable fighter jet design.

[@LifewithChance8800]

The USAF already has close quarters weapons known to some people as “flask” which fire decoys of explosive material to projectile around the jet and divert or damage enemy aircraft however its in “testing” phases

[@MrIpad2lover]

Why don't we pull out our fighter jets and show it off in their airspace

[@tweeks58]

Cause we have a weak progressive President that the world laughs at!

[@ominous450]

that's unnecessary and it might led to aggression. if news gots out that a US fighter jet was shot down then Obama would be pressured to retaliate by politicians and people like tweeks58. If the US shoots down a Chinese fighter jet in retatiation, then the next thing you know we're at war with China. If Obama does nothing after a US fighter jet is shot down, we'll avoid an unnecessary war and save money which is actually best for the country but there'll be people calling Obama weak. Whatever the man does, he can't win.

[@timscott5796]

tweeks58 No problem, Chinese ballistic missle will take it down immediately.

[@canofskittles2127]

It seems many people don't understand why the US is upset. They're not upset that they were intercepted, they're upset about the way the plane was intercepted. Flying within 30 feet of a plane is dangerous and a good way to kick off WW3.

[@kevinwilliams85]

[@larmil3347]

No we have to stay the course if you give up an inch they will take a mile. Any act I'll repeat any act of aggression towards our military they should shoot them down china & russia will get the message, are you kidding me they fly 30 from our aircraft.

[@cyanidejunkie]

Just imagine what we would do if this incident was reversed! Certainly would not be just one fighter. If this, and lets be honest, SPY plane, wasn't in the the area to begin with, there would be no issue.

[@IrishLincoln]

How would the US react if Russia or China flew within 130 miles of their coast? Yeah, I thought so.

[@Hrotto2]

+IrishLincoln We already saw how US deals with international provocation. November 1st, 2012 Iran scrambles a jet to intercept and destroy a drone that was detected over international waters in the Persian Gulf. The Iranian jet is about 40 miles out when he looks out over one of his wings to see and F-22 that had been shadowing him, casually inspecting the weapons load of the F-4. When the F-4 pilot spotted the American pilot, the American switched over to the Iranian frequency to relay the following "You really ought to go home". I'll bet that the ground crew of that F-4 searched in vain for the missing seat cushion that the pilot was using during that time. You wanna know how the US really deals with aggression without firing shots, thats how. If an F-22 can show up like that out of nowhere, I'm willing to bet that its happened a couple times with the Russians and the Chinese.

[@IrishLincoln]

Hrotto2 that's my point. People get all upset when other nations defend their borders and airspace, but when we defend ours everyone hoots and hollers 'Murica!

[@Hrotto2]

Even then, the US has it's own reasons aside from China to be there. Several allies of ours that are in the region are asking us to help against a very aggressive campaign being put on by China to control the water in that area and control major shipping routes at the expense of other countries. We're there to protect their interests.

[@IrishLincoln]

Hrotto2 correct. There's always saber rattling on both sides. Just typical military strong arming as usual. Nothing new.

[@hackman669]

+IrishLincoln Please stop by the US we need a few civilized friends to talk to.

[@siremitreppots]

It should be pointed out it was over international waters right next to China's border. When Russian jets get close to American borders (Alaska), US jets are sent to buzz them, this is no different.

Why was US P*( even there near the Chinese province half way around the globe? It was not the chinese who came near US land . Does that give some pointers to who the aggressor is?

[@arandomf-14tomcat77]

Dont ask me

[@Prometheus203]

They aren't aggressors, they are enforcing freedom of travel and international law. The Chinese have no right to offer a challenge to anyone operating legally within the scope of international law. Also the P8 is an anti submarine and recon aircraft, its entire purpose is to track enemy ship and submarine movements. An activity best conducted close to ports. The Russians have long challenged NATO and the US and the US and NATO have done the same back. This is not unusual or aggressive behavior for any military superpower.

[@Prometheus203]

James Wang You and the Russians already do test our defenses on a regular basis and on many different fronts... Honestly though the construction of these military bases on man made islands is not a peaceful act, your country is establishing an extended air defense perimeter within an area established as international waters with obvious and specific intentions. I fear that long term continued escalation down the current path can only inevitably lead to a war which I believe neither side wants.. However the general public on both sides is so uninformed that they are not aware of the growing tensions and the poor decision making taking place within the leadership of both nations. We have a great opportunity for us both to strengthen our relationship and build a better future together, the petty decisions of select individuals with their self centered motivations should not wager the survival of a great majority of the human species.

[@Prometheus203]

You are correct the United States should be more forceful with allied nations and their actions which also contribute to the unnecessary escalation of tensions in the region. Those nations however continue to have justification for an increased military stance based on the ever growing state of Chinese imperialism and the continued aggressive threats posed by the PRNK.

[@joshitheyoshi2533]

People in the comments are so ill-informed. This is not "Chinese airspace" whatever the fuck that means. It's international waters and the country closest to claiming them according to SEZ statues is Philippines, not China. China is engaged in illegal militarization and island-building of international waters in the South China Sea because these straits are VALUABLE. They experience 25% of global trade and have approx 7 billion barrels of underwater oil reserves. If China is allowed to continue they could utilize these straits to wage economic warfare as they did as recently in 2010 when they blockaded by sea Japan's imports of rare earth metals (necessary for their tech manufacturing industry).

In case there's a collision, the Chinese jet has an ejection seat, the P8 hasn't. That makes it a psychologically uneven "dog fight". So these tactics may eventually work for the Chinese.

[@Tinfoil_Hardhat]

Max Alfred JOE LA SEMOULE The US hasn't made the most military developments in modern history because of its budget. It's because Americans are legitimately better. Every service pistol uses the slide. John browning. First widely successful machine gun, John maxim. First aircraft, Wright brothers. More revolutionary gun designs, John browning. Western world's modern service rifle, Eugene Stoner. Best aircraft in use around the world. Whether it be jet aircraft, or helicopters. Even when Russia has able to make shit they still failed and keeping up with US designers. The legitimacy of world players has always been a strong military. It's called big stick diplomacy. Be diplomatic but still have a large military. What other world player is actually fighting terrorists outside of the US and occasionally other western nation and Israel?

He also know's how to strategically plan assaults without putting our men in harms way on the ground. The only thing republicans care about is money, guns and having a few stripes on their chest. Going into war is what got this country in this economic crisis in the first damn place haven't you Republicans learned that yet? Trust me I don't think Obama is 100% the best president alive unlike most gullible Democrats, I'm just stating the truth here. and about the whole Obama didn't cancel the fucking golf game....o_o bush didn't cancel his golf game either and he took an extra 150+ more vacation days than Obama.
