Chinese jet performs 'unsafe' maneuver near U.S. plane, Pentagon says
(CNN)A Chinese military jet performed an "unsafe" maneuver in front of a
United States reconnaissance plane last week, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
A U.S. RC-135 aircraft operating above the Yellow Sea, approximately 80
miles east of the Shandong Peninsula reported the Sept. 15 incident after
the Chinese jet passed in front of the RC-135, Pentagon Press Secretary
Peter Cook told reporters.
"One of the maneuvers conducted by the Chinese aircraft during this
intercept was perceived as unsafe by the RC-135 air crew and at this point,
right now, there's no indication this was a near collision, but the report
that came back was that the plane operated in an unsafe fashion," Cook said.
The intercept follows a more dangerous maneuver last year when an armed
Chinese fighter jet came within approximately 20 feet of a U.S. Navy P-8
aircraft, at one point rolling to its side to show the U.S. plane its
weapons load, Pentagon officials said at the time.
While last week's incident was not seen of as provocative, Cook said the
incident was still under review. |
