A close encounter; Live conversation between the Chinese fighter and the American spy plane.
According to CNN, the depth of tension between Washington and Beijing was revealed after the American spy plane, with the presence of American media reporters, covered the live conversation between the pilots of this plane and a Chinese J-11 fighter over the country’s airspace.
China’s J11 fighter jet detected an American P8 spy plane in Beijing’s airspace, and during the emergency conversation between the pilots, which was covered by a CNN reporter, the Chinese fighter pilot can be heard warning the American plane to refrain from advancing further. .
In this conversation, which is getting more dangerous every moment, the Chinese fighter pilot says: The American plane, the Air Force of the People’s Liberation Army of China is speaking. You are approaching Chinese airspace. Keep your distance or you will be intercepted.
This close encounter occurred while the Pentagon accused a Chinese fighter jet of flying within 10 meters of a US reconnaissance aircraft in December. China, on the other hand, announced that it was an American plane that approached the Beijing fighter.
The recent incident, which was accompanied by live coverage by American media reporters, occurred shortly after the sighting of a Chinese balloon in American airspace and its downing by an F-22 fighter of the American Air Force. Washington had claimed that this balloon was a spy and Beijing, while confirming the ownership of the balloon, emphasized that this balloon was flown for civilian and scientific purposes and accidentally entered American airspace due to the wind.
