Washington: Since the Chinese spy balloon seen in America, the confrontation between the two countries is increasing. Now the US Navy reconnaissance jet flew at an altitude of 21,500 feet over the disputed South China Sea. It is 30 miles from the disputed Paracel Islands, a group of about 130 small atolls, home to the largest Chinese military base. During this, a voice came from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) airport on the radio of the US Navy P-8 Poseidon. ‘American aircraft, Chinese airspace is 12 nautical miles away’ said by the Chinese pilot. If you come further, then you yourself will be responsible for it.

According to CNN reports, within minutes the American jet was intercepted by a Chinese J-11 fighter jet armed with air-to-air missiles. The Chinese jet appeared about 500 feet from the left wing and flew next to the American P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft for more than an hour. The Chinese fighter jet was so close, the CNN crew could see the pilots turning their heads. The PLA aircraft was received by the pilot of the American aircraft, Lieutenant Nikki Slaughter. PLA fighter aircraft, this is the US Navy P-8A… I have got you off my left wing and I want to move west. I request you to do the same. There was no response from the Chinese fighter plane, it escorted the American plane for 15 minutes. CNN reported that There is concrete evidence of increasing tension between the US and China.

This was my view of a Chinese J11 fighter jet about 500ft off the wing of a U.S. Navy surveillance plane…that was intercepted today over the South China Sea after stern radio warnings from #China’s PLA. We’ll take you on board the P8 on @NBCNightlyNews @NBCNews… pic.twitter.com/knbl4CC7V9
