When the high-level meeting between China and the United States is about to be held, the US military has come out to do something again.
According to the Observer, on October 26, local time, the U.S. "Indo-Pacific Command" issued a statement on its official webpage, once again accusing Chinese fighters of carrying out "unprofessional" interceptions of U.S. aircraft.
The incident that the US military said happened just two days ago. According to the statement and video materials of the US side, on the night of the 24th, a US Air Force B-52 bomber appeared over the South China Sea and was intercepted by the pilot of a Chinese J-11. It can be seen from the video released by the Pentagon that at that time, the Chinese J-11 fighter fighter carried a number of missiles under the wings, and due to the slow flight speed of the B-52, the J-11 also opened the speed brake and flew in front of and below the fuselage of the B-52, and the distance was less than 10 feet (about 3 meters) at the closest.
It was clear that the US fighter jet intruded into the airspace over the South China Sea and the Chinese fighter plane carried out close surveillance and alert escort, but in the Pentagon's mouth, it became "unsafe and unprofessional" and "uncontrolled" approaching at high speed.
Interestingly, the Pentagon statement also mentioned that both planes were in danger of collision due to the "poor" flying skills displayed by the Chinese fighters, and that there were "concerns" that the Chinese pilots "did not realize" that the operation "almost caused a collision."
Did you bump into it? No! Conversely, can the US military achieve such a limit of 3 meters approach, or at night when it is more difficult? The unprofessionalism of the US military can only once again illustrate the superb skills of the Chinese fighter pilots and the spirit of protecting the country without fear of sacrifice.
In fact, in recent years, similar incidents have occurred more frequently between China and the United States than you can imagine. According to a series of declassified images released by the Pentagon a few days ago, since the fall of 2021, there have been more than 180 similar incidents (and this is not only the United States itself, including its allies), and the locations of the incidents are all located in the East China Sea, the South China Sea and their nearby airspace. In order to splash dirty water on China's head, the United States released a large number of videos of the live confrontation to "identify" China. As everyone knows, this "more than 180 times" image is evidence of the US military's frequent provocations against China in recent years!
Why doesn't the U.S. wonder why the area is always shown in these published videos in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and its adjacent waters? And not the Gulf of Mexico, the coast of California.
As Senior Colonel Wu Qian, director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense of China and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, responded forcefully on the afternoon of the 26th, "If you don't come, can I stop you?" ”
Indeed, if it weren't for the US bombers coming to our doorstep, our pilots would not have put themselves in such a dangerous situation. Let you be at your doorstep today, and you will not tear off our roof tomorrow?
However, it is really necessary to "thank you" for the Pentagon's announcement. The restrained implicitness of the Chinese is engraved in their bones, and there have always been relatively few reports on related matters. If it weren't for the Pentagon's "revelations", we, as ordinary people, really wouldn't have had a chance to see how fearless our soldiers are when they defend every inch of land and mountains for us.
As for the U.S. military, if the technical training is not good, don't come to embarrass people again!
