A Chinese fighter pilot nearly crashed into an American B-52 bomber over the South China Sea during a nighttime intercept on Tuesday, according to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
The Chinese pilot "demonstrated poor airmanship" in his J-11 jet, flying within just 10 feet of the B-52 bomber "with uncontrolled excessive speed," putting both planes in danger of colliding, according to U.S. officials.
"The PRC intercept was conducted at night, with limited visibility, in a manner contrary to international air safety rules and norms," a news release from Indo-Pacific Command said.
"We are concerned this pilot was unaware of how close he came to causing a collision," the release said.
I depends where the two planes were flying.
@9GJJM8L7mos7MO
i don't have a strong opinion on this topic
@9GJHMYQ7mos7MO
i think its important to know this because if the jet had collided the explosion from the bomb would have been so much larger. It would have caused much more damage.
@9GJL4S97mos7MO
It's scary how close we are teetering on war.
@9GJDYYM7mos7MO
War could of broken out if those happened.
@9GJM2G77mos7MO
The fighter jet shouldn't have been that close.
@9GJM9MT7mos7MO
If the Chinese fighter jet had collided with the bomber, it very well could have escalated into nuclear conflict.
@9GJN2VJ7mos7MO
China is the most dangerous threat currently
@9GJNPGC7mos7MO
Why were the Chinese fighter jets and American Bomber so close that they almost collided?
@9GJKBMWIndependent7mos7MO
Any confrontation from two large countries like the US and China is bound to cause a major conflict, especially with an aggressive government like China.
@9GJJXR87mos7MO
I think it's quite a dangerous situation.
@PluckyBipartisanDemocrat7mos7MO
US military is now crying like a baby that a Chinese fighter jet came within 10 feet of a US Air Force B-52 bomber flying over the South China Sea? Get out of Asia, warmongers.
@StorkSarah7mos7MO
I love how these American pilots fly in someone else’s airspace on the other side of the planet and have the gall to say they’re being threatened.
@ReferendumBradRepublican7mos7MO
Depends. South China Sea could be Malaysia. Philippines. Vietnam. It actually could be the Chinese going into others airspace. They’ve been trying to expand their sea border by trying to steal Philippine islands and also building islands
@9GHPRR77mos7MO
i feel like some of the things happening isnt needed.
@9GJF5XK7mos7MO
china is more fierce and a big country
@9GJP58M7mos7MO
china should not be in United States airspace except for public airlines or if they are passing through
to think will be as that or what will be getting
