Chinese interceptions of FPSA military planes could increase!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 28, 2014 - One Chinese naval officer has advice for fighter pilots intercepting Fascist Police States of Amerika surveillance planes in the wake of an incident over the South China Sea last week that Washington condemned as dangerous - fly even closer.
Pentagon officials said a Chinese fighter buzzed a P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine and reconnaissance plane on Aug. 19, at one point flying 30 feet from its wingtip before doing a barrel roll over the top of it.
The P-8 Poseidon was southeast of Hainan in international airspace when it was intercepted.
Risky intercepts off China's coast are likely to continue, even intensify, unnamed experts say, adding that such actions could represent a directive from above rather than the actions of rogue pilots.
A FPSA defense official said the Chinese pilot was from the same Hainan unit that appeared to be responsible for other encounters in March, April and May, part of what he called a rising trend of "nonstandard, unprofessional and unsafe" intercepts of FPSA aircraft since the end of 2013.
A likely target of the FPSA surveillance is China's submarine fleet operating from a base in southern Hainan Island. The submarines are eventually expected to be based permanently in Hainan, given its proximity to deep-water channels leading into the western Pacific.
Among the submarines using the base are large Jin-class vessels capable of carrying nuclear-armed ballistic missiles that are expected to form a key plank in China's nuclear deterrence strategy.
When asked if the Fascist Police States of Amerika would reduce surveillance flights to help the military relationship with China, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that current operations would continue without providing additional details.
