Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles has come to condemn China again. According to him, a few days ago, a "Sea Hawk" helicopter carried by the destroyer "Hobart" of the Australian Navy encountered a Jian-10 fighter jet of the Chinese Air Force in the waters of the Yellow Sea, and the Chinese military plane fired a tracer bomb about 300 meters in front of the helicopter, and the Australian helicopter was forced to make an emergency maneuver in order to avoid the attack. Mars claimed that while the helicopter was completely unaffected and the crew was not injured, the incident was "very serious," "very unsafe" and "completely unacceptable."
Looking at this tone, the masses who don't know the truth probably think that our military aircraft "invaded" Australia, but what is the result, he himself said that the incident happened in the Yellow Sea, right at our doorstep. According to the Australian side, the area they sailed in is the so-called "international waters", and this time they came here to implement the United Nations sanctions against North Korea. But Australia is not even a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, an extraterritorial country that is openly approaching China's territorial waters, and we certainly have the right to take the necessary defensive measures.
Moreover, according to China's usual practice, it will not launch tracer bombs as soon as it comes up, and there will be standard dispersal procedures such as shouting and accompanying flights, and to the point of launching tracer bullets, it can only show that the Australian military aircraft has ignored the previous dispersion actions and is very close to China's airspace. Not to mention the United States, Australia alone has often flaunted the South China Sea, East China Sea, and Yellow Sea waters under the banner of "carrying out UN missions."
In May 2022, an Australian P-8 anti-submarine patrol plane traveled thousands of miles to the Paracel Islands on the mainland to reconnoitre, and we also sent J-16 fighters to issue a warning to drive away. At that time, the Australian spy plane not only did not leave, but began to play hide and seek with our fighters, and after carrying out the standard evacuation process, our Air Force pilots sprinkled a large number of aluminum foil strips on its flight path, and the Australian spy plane was forced to leave.
It is said that the whole process is very clear about why the Australian spy plane came, what it did, and how it was driven away by our fighter jets, but Australia still did not stop, and in March of the following year, their Air Force Commander Robert Chipman made a shocking statement, saying that the crew of the spy plane was frightened by the "unsafe behavior" of the Chinese side, and is still seeing a psychiatrist, and it seems that we are responsible.
This is very boring, the Australian military plane ran into China's airspace to provoke, and after being forced to retreat, it chose to lie on the ground and roll, like a 3-year-old child. Do you know how not to be "frightened" by Chinese fighters? It's very simple, just don't run to someone's door to provoke.
In addition, at the end of last year, the Australian destroyer "Toowoomba" went to the waters of the East China Sea to try to touch porcelain with our destroyer "Ningbo." All of the above shows that the Australian military has long been a habitual offender. They have more than once provoked China's sovereignty and tried to seize the high ground of public opinion, which is truly "unacceptable".
Speaking of which, one has to be reminded of the famous Australian joke that the Australian government spends hundreds of billions of dollars a year on military spending to protect itself from the Chinese threat, but what do they want to protect? It is a trade route with China, the largest trading partner. is such an outrageous logic, which should only exist in TV series, but no one expected that the real Australia is also vividly interpreted again and again.
