Chinese Fighter Jet Drops Series of Flares 900 Feet From US Plane

A video newly released by the US Department of Defense from July 12, 2023 captures a People's Liberation Army (Chinese) fighter jet conducting a coercive and risky intercept against a lawfully operating US asset in the East China Sea. The US says the Chinese jet deployed eight flares at a distance of 900 feet from the US plane.

    Please google and read Section 5-6-13b (Fighter intercept phases), Aeronautical Information Manual published by the US Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Authority. It clearly states how to perform a fighter intercept, including the use of flares. The Chinese fighter jet did the same as stated in the manual. Do people in the US still read???

    This has been going on for decades. Even when I was in the Marines at the end of Nam, this kind of crap was going on then. It's a form of phycological harassment. It's just more evident now with all the technology we now have to document events such as this and gets into the hands of the media. When I was deployed on Naval ships in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean, with the size of our vessel, we occasionally would have another country ship play games and cross in front of us knowing we would take evasive maneuvers to avoid the collision. Avaition was no different, especially with Russia. Remember the scene in the first Top Gun where, I believe, Maverick flew his fighter upside down above the Rissian fighter and took a picture of the Russian pilot? It was a little BS but it was close to the crap that goes on between both sides. However getting to your question on an "act of war", I tend to agree with you. We as a country take a lot of crap thrown at us and we just take it. From my days in the Marines, we were always told, "We are better than them, and they know it".

    China now recruits among university graduates and undergraduates, except fighter pilots. Fighter pilots are selected after junior high schools and recruited after senior high school graduation. And then regular training and development. All new PLA are now bilingual. Comes handy to deal with POW, particularly those English speaking ones. And there is a gap between US recruits, high school drop-outs. Not to mention Chinese IQ ranks among the top tier and US only manages to 3rd tier, thanks to Asian Americans, particularly Chinese.
