US Accuses Chinese Fighter Planes of ‘Dangerously Close’ and Was Slapped by Video Expert: US Responsible for Dangerous Situation | Blog posts

Earlier, the US Indo-Pacific Command’s Department of Public Affairs released a statement on Dec. 29 which said, “PLA Navy pilot performed a dangerous flight maneuver, flying in front of the RC -135 and within 20 feet (about six meters) of the nose. , forcing the RC-135 to take evasive action to avoid a collision.” Reuters quoted a US military spokesman as saying the Chinese fighter plane was within 10 feet (about three meters) of the US reconnaissance plane’s wing.

A 30-second video evidence released by the Southern Theater on the 31st further exposed the US military’s lies.

Zhang Xuefeng, a military expert, said that this video is from the same time period as the previous video released by the US military. The video restores the position and flight status of both sides’ aircraft at that time from the point of view of Chinese fighter planes, which further proves that the US accusation is completely untenable. The Chinese fighter planes did not conduct large-scale maneuvers and maintained a height difference, which not only effectively monitored the situation, but also prevented the two sides from getting dangerously close. The disposal of Chinese fighter aircraft is in accordance with laws and regulations, safe and effective.

“Indeed, after the US released the video in question, some US experts questioned the rationality of the US military’s prosecution.” Zhang Xuefeng pointed out that in response to the US-released video, Robert Hopkins III, a senior US Air Force strategic reconnaissance pilot, believed that “the RC-135 does not appear to have changed flight status,” that is, the RC-135 was not found to take any evasive action.

Tian Junli said that the US military’s so-called statement ignores the facts and is purely slanderous speculation. The Chinese pilots acted in accordance with the laws and regulations and operated in a professional manner, fully reflecting the Chinese military’s responsible attitude towards regional security and the safety of front-line personnel. The United States deliberately misleads public opinion, distorts black and white, and slaps black and white in an attempt to confuse international audiences. He said, “We solemnly urge the United States to curb the actions of its front-line naval and air forces, strictly abide by relevant international laws and relevant agreements and agreements, and prevent accidents at sea and in the air. The Chinese military maintains a high level of alert at all times, resolutely fulfill its duties and missions, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security.”

Military expert Song Zhongping said that the video released by China clearly shows that the Chinese aircraft maintains a normal flight attitude. It is the US military aircraft that changed the original flight attitude and trajectory, causing it to the two aircraft are relatively close to each other. “It doesn’t look as close as the three meters the US military said visually, but a slight difference between two fighter jets flying at high speed can lead to a collision. What is certain is that the person responsible for this dangerous situation it’s United States.”

Accusing the People’s Liberation Army of taking “unsafe and unprofessional” actions against other countries’ warships and aircraft is a “point of attack” for the United States to attack the People’s Liberation Army in 2022.

For example, when the US Department of Defense Austin gave a keynote address during the Shangri-La Dialogue in June 2022, it said that “encounters” between China and other countries’ planes and ships were “unsafe and unprofessional” and the increase in the number of times was “shocking”. US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Affairs Eli Ratner said in July 2022 at the South China Sea annual meeting held by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a US think tank, that in recent months air and Chinese warships have intercepted attacks by the United States and other countries in the Indo-Pacific region. The number of military aircraft and warships of its allies has increased significantly.

Moreover, the allies of the United States also have “stands”. For example, the Australian Ministry of Defense issued a statement saying that on 26 May 2022, an Australian military aircraft was intercepted by a Chinese military aircraft while carrying out a reconnaissance mission in the airspace of the South China Sea, threatening security of Australian Air Force and its personnel. The truth is “the fact that Australian military aircraft continued to approach China’s Xisha airspace ignoring China’s repeated warnings.” Even earlier, in February 2022, the Australian Ministry of Defense said that a Chinese warship “striked an Australian military aircraft flying into Australia’s Northern Passage within Australia’s Exclusive Economic Zone” and said that “this could endanger the lives of the staff”. The photos released by China’s Ministry of National Defense helped reveal the truth. The two photos released by the Ministry of National Defense fully proved that “the Australian aircraft is very close to our ship, and is also dropping sonar buoys around the our ship This kind of malicious provocation is very easy and leads to misunderstanding and misjudgment.When encountering Australian military aircraft, Chinese warships have always maintained safe, standardized and professional operations, in accordance with the laws and regulations relevant international practices.

Song Zhongping said that the United States and its allies have always been the bad guys who sued first, taking advantage of Western media to occupy the so-called command heights of public opinion, “But as the PLA has released evidence more and repeatedly, deeds speak louder than words, allowing the international community to clearly see the US lie The true face of the manufacturer can clearly see the US hypocrisy At the same time, we must prove with facts that the PLA is effectively maintaining airspace security and national security.”
