An Australian pilot was forced to take evasive action after a Chinese military jet detonated flares close to a Navy helicopter that was operating in international waters near South Korea.
The Defence Department has described the actions of the J-10 Chinese Air Force plane as “unsafe and unprofessional” following the incident which took place in the Yellow Sea over the weekend.
On Saturday a MH-60R Seahawk which had launched from HMAS Hobart was intercepted by the People’s Liberation Army-Air Force (PLA-AF) as it was taking part in a UN mission to enforce sanctions against North Korea.
Found the bot who can’t read. International waters near south Korea with an actual mission against north korea. That’s not “operating near China”. If that was the case, the world should be nothing but bloody war, just about every country has military at their border. That’s near another country.
And the biggest reason this is a double dick move by China, the Seahawk was on a UN mission. Guess who’s part of UN. That’s right. China.
A UN mission that China has actively voted for repeatedly, no less. Every UNSC resolution against North Korea going back to 2006 has been unanimous.
