A Chinese fighter jet was captured on video intercepting a U.S. aircraft last week, officials say.
During an appearance on “Mornings with Maria” Wednesday, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis called China’s maneuver “very risky” as tension rises between the U.S. and its biggest adversary. “These things could have a real impact if the thing goes wrong. And it was a very risky maneuver,” he said.
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said a People’s Republic of China J-16 fighter pilot performed an “unnecessarily aggressive maneuver” while intercepting a U.S. Air Force RC-135 aircraft that was flying in international airspace over the South China Sea.
