Over the South China sea, two Chinese fighter J-11 made a “dangerous” interception of a us spy plane Lockheed EP-3, said the representative of the Ministry of defence of the USA Jeff Devis CNN.
It is noted that the incident occurred in international airspace on may 17. The Chinese fighters approached an American intelligence officer on 15 meters, when he “was performing a routine mission.”
Davis stressed that the behavior of the Chinese air force will be discussed under the relevant military and diplomatic channels.
As the channel reports, citing Pentagon sources, similar incidents in this region is rare, so this case definitely attracts attention.
