Pentagon releases footage of 'highly concerning' aircraft intercepts by Chinese planes

- The Pentagon has released footage of some of the more than 180 intercepts of U.S. warplanes by Chinese aircraft that have occurred in the last two years - more than the total amount over the previous decade and part of a trend U.S. military officials called concerning.
The photos and video were released in advance of a soon-to-be issued annual report by the Pentagon on the China’s military power and the security threats it may pose to partners in the Indo-Pacific.
The Pentagon has tried for years to posture itself to be ready for a potential conflict with China over Taiwan even as it now finds itself supporting allies in two hot wars, Ukraine in Europe and Israel in the Middle East.
The officials said the Chinese flights were risky and aggressive in nature, but stopped short of calling most of them unsafe - a specific term that is used only in the most egregious cases. Still the officials said it was important to release the footage and call out the behavior because they said it was part of a larger trend of regional intimidation by China that could accidentally lead to conflict.
“All of these examples we’ve released today underscore the coercive intent of (China) by engaging in behaviors particularly in international airspace,” said Ely Ratner, assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs. “The bottom line is that in many cases, this type of operational behavior can cause active and dangerous accidents" and can lead inadvertently to conflict, Ratner said.
I didn't know Chinese planes fly on the US coast.
That is ww3. I will never see sunlight again.
In the US we need new honest politicians who want to cooperate with the other nations, not try to boss them around.
How would US like it if China fly their planes next to its coasts near LA, DC, SF? what a double standard.
US coastal area is not international airspace. China's coastal area is International airspace. China should have not harassed other countries around that region.
"Accidents could lead to miscalculations"??
Er, isn't it/shouldn't it be the other way around??!
Shame they didn't show the one from Global News on the Canadian observation aircraft... They were just about touching the wingtip with their jet...
Yeah that was full on
The sound is off too on some vids depending on the platform.
They have every right to defend their land from your spy planes. 😂
@@johnnopeyy4129 For starters, they're not spy planes, since they're broadcasting their transponder to indicate their presence to EVERYONE around.
Secondly, Taiwan has every right to be left alone. Lastly, we're all doing this from airspace above _INTERNATIONAL WATERS,_ so... yea, all things considered, they DON'T have any right to harass like they are. 😁🖕
Within 40 feet of touching!
I guarantee that Chinese jets wouldn't intercept US planes if they werent constantly flying near mainland China. I wonder what would happen if China flew war planes off the US coast. People spazzed out over just a weather balloon.
The United States later confirmed that no spying equipment was installed inside the so-called "spy balloon."
If the US threatened to invade Cuba, Mexico or Canada then maybe China should send planes to keep the peace and thwart our rottenness.
😂😂😂 HUGE News on weather balloon. U.S is a joke.
you're being very disingenuous by framing it as "flying near mainland china." They're flying it close to either japan, the koreas, or other related asian allies. Saying its "near mainland china" implies its solely to piss them off, which is just not true. In comparison, the Chinese flying war planes off the US coast would be an undeniable, inexcusable display of aggression. They have no allies to protect in the region, they have no reason ever getting close to the US.
Maybe learn your history before making baseless what aboutisms.
@manipulatortrash The US has over 800 military bases around the world and wonder why they keep getting "picked on" by militaries like China who have literally one military base on foreign soil. ONE! But poor USA. These mean countries like China have the audacity to build countries near these innocent US bases.
These countries are taking America as a joke
Wtf are they doing near china🤣🤣 imagine russia sending a fighter yet near the border of mexico with the USA
United Snakes 🐍 is a joke led by a geriatric who poops in his pants
Where's Smerica fighting children with rocks 🪨 🤾♂️ 🤣🤣🤣
as they should
it is a joke
Stay home gringos
Must be unsettling to find the Chinese can fly aircraft just as well as the US. But what is an American aircraft doing near China? It's not as if its their neighbour.
Exactly. If US want to avoir accidents, stay away from China's boundaries. Period
We have Tom Cruise. Enough said.
What's a US plane doing near China you ask?
What's it gonna be doing thousand of miles away ftom its borders?
Looking for trouble to then blame others - as usual.
Fun Fact :
All the U.S. and Chinese military conflicts occur around Chinese waters!! NOT around U.S. waters. !!
The Yankees should reflect on why they went halfway around the world to Chinese waters. !
The Philippines invited us over because the Chinese are bullying them over fishing areas near the Philippines.
WTH, the Chinese were only performing escort services to ensure that the hostile aircraft from 10s of thousands of miles, were operating safely and could get back home safely.. :D
"Long has he foreseen but has done nothing about"...too often this comes to mind these days.
BEcause America owns international waters and airspace where have you been for the past century. Doesn't matter if it's 10KM off the coast of China. International water always mean American owned.
In this case, his surname is actually probably Long.
@@ScotchOnyx difference these days is it's SEA countries who have been asking for help against super powered China's 10 dash line. Where have you been? Don't worry despite the rhetoric the US ain't doing that much. Apparently we aren't Ukraine or Israel.
You are aware that this same footage was posted in videos from 9 months ago as well, right? 🤦🏼♀️
ye s😂😂😂😂他们又发布一遍，也许自己需要收视率。
A spy plane is for spying.
Spying is an act of aggression.
A military jet is for going to war.
Sending a military jet over is an aggressive preparation for war.
And you say that you are not aggressive in spying on others, and sending military planes to their doorsteps.
AS long as you don't violate their airspace it is perfectly legal. We spy on everyone. They spy on us. This has been going on since the Cold War.
Ignorance is a bliss. Flying in international air space is permitted under any law including China's who is signed on to the UN Treaty no matter what kind of airplane that is including drones, surveillance planes, bombers and fighters. Read a little instead of making moronic random comments. If an aircraft penetrates your airspace, then is a different story. With that said, a fighter escort should curb the China/Russia enboldened aggressive behaviour caused by Biden's perceived weakness.
We flew U-2's SR-71's etc, We've always been doing flyovers of "Questionable Motive" Countries. What Satallites Can't cover, aircraft can. We've been doing it since the 50's. Other countries send spy balloons.
Military airplane flying near China for more than 180 times😅 FOR WHAT REASONS?
Flying in International airspace “near China”
That’s like not entering the house but staying in front of the door of the house for 180+ times
If it is within the international law, why not? You may not like it but it is permitted. China does their spying with balloons and even penetrates foreign air space. So have a meltdown.
You do realize China intentionally invades Taiwans airspace on a rutine basis.
Yeah, let’s have Chinese planes fly to Gulf of Mexico in international airspace, and see how Americans would feel!
We just might see this happened in the near future.
Nah, cant make it that far
@@yamatomusashi1412 Not now.
US way is shot without second thought
Biden would send at least 5 carriers there to defend of sovereignty.
Was it real?
I thought Chinese's plane couldn't fly...
😂like usa cruise missile 🤭

They can fly but only 1 way no return trip. Like Rockets of Hamas..... Ham doddle lah
@@matalinongtsunggo4503 so whats all these whining for ? you never been to china don't you, poor little home boy..
so, how is the Philippine air force doing nowadays? did your iq increased yet? @@matalinongtsunggo4503
You didn't add that they have not let us fly through bejing have the right to fly anywhere in the world and everywhere is like Iraq and Afghanistan we have to do whatever we want
This is actually a flying toilet, which is very difficult to steer.😅
Concerning to them yes, it was probably concerning to the chinese to see a plane there as well
To see a plane in International air space? Is China a signator of the United Nations and suppossed to abide by International law with freedom of navigation? Pease goggle and read a little.
@@jimjones9239 China signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and ratified it, but the US didn't. So I think the freedom of navigation cannot apply here :)
@@jimjones9239 also google and read a little lol
They say if you can not stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
If USA does not want the unprofessional INTERCEPTION, say away from China airspace which is 1000s miles from America.
The World trembles at Bidens footsteps......
10,000 km to the coast of California
Oh we like the heat, we have picked fights in Every Continent of this planet, haven't you seen?
Really, is it around NY or San Francisco? Where did it occur? Don't tell me its around Shanghai or some place half way around the world where we have 300+ bases around China. I Wonder Why? Who is provoking? Who is trying start a war that has nothing to do with us...wait sorry there is the Taiwanese chips we'll think of something. ;)
Somebody has watched Top Gun to many times.
Chinese airforce pilots are probably made to study that movie to get to know how USAF pilot could engage them.
Was the Chinese pilot delivery of Chinese takeaway to the American pilot. Was the delivery from Menulog
imagine being threatened by takeaway people. wayne so small now.
He wanted to deliver 'kung pow'.
Doordash, extra charge for flying out 10 miles out of Shanghai! :) haha
He's just standing there, menacingly
These americans ...go to internacional waters about 3 miles of the coast of china ...china intercepts them staying close ... and the chinese are at fault ?!?! hahah
And you’re in the area keeping North Korea in check right? But I thought this was a Canadian plane with China.
South China sea, 10,000 km away from the coast of California.
Friends are welcome, pervert are not welcome.
A pervert with telescope went to peek at someone's house.
On the front door claim he is on public space can do whatever he want.
But the owner came out with a broom to drive the pervert away.
😅Then the pervert said the homeowner was a threat.
@@happymelon7129 that's exactly what I want to say. The pervert complains that the homeowner is "unprofessional".
America, stop drinking soda!
You have no business there go home!!!
Maybe stop flying planes by their borders
You don't live in a bubble zzzzz. It is not a videogame.
the pilot went too far to go to China even though he wanted to go to India... because a Canadian citizen of Indian descent (Sikh or Singh -> I don't remember) was killed by India government agents...
What are you smoking? Please speak English.
Sihk
this won't happened if you didn't fly your plane 8000 miles from your country to their border
Oh , God, the Chinese Air force already so close to the US coastal line? Did any Chinese aircraft carrier close to the US coastal área? Or they already has some military bases in Mexico?
You are legally right but morally wrong.
If I legally stop at a public passway near your house and keep looking at your house day and night, what would be your response?
making ad so that some countries will buy thier plane? hehehe
The U.S pilot should have radioed over "Hey, we didn't order Chinese Food". Do you think that would have went over well?

@@brandonmchenry1907 You are right - it's a great soundbyte. But that's all it is.

Many times in my life I have said something, rather than keeping quiet. It's a wonderful moral stance to hold.
For around 5 minutes, until reality sets in.
If the US intelligence collusion with big tech is an issue for you, then sorry, but you are naive to believe that it is any other way.
Slow news day. Escort and interceptions have gone on since 1950.
Thousands miles away from homecountry snooping around other countries' doorsteps?
Not snooping it's showing muscle
Is using muscle intimidation at your doorsteps.
It's called surveillance, and China does it too.
@@germanicelt Surveillance at your house's doorsteps, you like it very much.
@@ric6074 China did this with their navy about a year ago, when war games were going on in Australia. Surveillance can also be cyber (well that probably is spying) not to mention the CCP agents inside other countries.
Maybe someone should go talk to them! I'll go!!
When comparing The evil US is spreading and funding all over globe this is nothing and if US has no any capacity to counter chinese 🤣🤣🤣🤣
China's economy if fake, and it's done. This is what happens when socialist do capitalism, and plus their population is now starting to decline. If only I invested in Aussie mining stocks in the 2000s.

What does the Biden/Obama regime say about this? ---sjt
the chinese pilot must have a good knowledge of Math and a strong believes on himself....
Wait what? when have the united states ever been afraid of war?
Only with Iran
You guys are fooling yourselves if you think our foes give a crap about flying to close
What does America do if and when Chinese aircrafts fly close to their airspace?
Good skills
This time around he got lucky, another idiot flying the same type of crate slammed on to the spy plane. Chinese pilots are as good as Chinese drivers LOL.
How did we get those clips? Oh, yeah… because we were doing the same thing. 😂
US is in trouble from every direction. China, Russia, Iran , north Korea, Syria, türkeyia, Belarus. It's too much. 😢😢😢😢😢
In future US akan tiada masa sudah tidak lama akan berlaku berapa tahun sahaja lagi. Semua kuasa besar akan menentang kembali
Yes Joe Biden projects weakness even your country without an airforce will take a swing.
The CCP and Iran are sick governments, but Putin is a good leader and there's no need for the US to be on bad terms with them. But it's really the Deep state behind the POTUS that's pulling these strings.
Why are you there ? Miscalculations
oh america wining when flying near chinese coast day and night , time to get tough with anglo saxons
Well, there is no traffic lane in the air. No laws enforcing how close you can fly within another. No punishment for violations as well. But there are laws on boundaries and ADIZ as well which USA does not recognize but utilizes the rules to justify its own actions.
So if China is doing the same thing within their own territories, ADIZ or in international air space, then whatever USA is claiming is moot. They have every right to be there, however close to you.
If you don't want them to behave this way, then stop traveling over to their space to provoke them. This is all USA's own doing.
To give you an example, if I carry an AR-15 rifle, loaded with extended clip, travel 5000 miles away from my home and go patrol everyday outside the public pavement of your home, and no law enforcement can ever stop me from doing that, how would you feel about it? Would you also buy your own AR-15 file, loaded with extended clip, maybe bring another family member of yours and patrol right next to me until I go away?
If so, how do you blame the home owners for behaving this way? And almost always the homeowner in the example is China. USA does not own an single territory in South China Sea or Yellow Sea, or Taiwan Strait. Not one. So why are we there?
USA doesn't own the skies, neither do China. But sure as hell, China has the right to defend their air space and what they perceived as potential threat. You don't like it, stop flying there and stay in your own lane.
Ukraine, Gaza and America neocon- next most desperate attempt is China, Mark my words
Bet he wouldn't do that to an F22 or F35
Seems provoking a bully by a bully leads to an azz whooping. Who wins. We don’t know yet.
As if China has not been a bully the past half dozen years. They even fly into Taiwan airspace every 2nd week.
"Unsafe unprofessional" 😅
Why US interfaring other countries
Hegemony
The liers and double standard
arrogant and bullying
No body equates competency with the chinese military 😂
Biden will tell them he is sorry he got in their way !!!!
Maverick be like….. 🥸
These events should be embarrassing to our overly compensated and over rated military and industrial complex
Is not about how much money you throw at it but how cost effective the money it's handle
The budgets of china and Russia are a fraction of those use by our defense yet they are not that far off, in fact some experts say they could be even better
yah right
sure thing skippy
They cost of living is also less in those Countries
Well when your enemy smells weakness this is what happens. We're doomed.
I smell Brandon
It has nothing to do with weakness, relax. Nobody in the world really cares. Why Americans think they have to show force and concerned about looking weak? This is so childish. World has changed. After all this is a SPY PLANE flying within close proximity to Chinese territory. They are pretty aware that this spy plane can see deep into their territory, that's why they scramble it. It's common sense.
Was that a Walmart harrier 😂
Temu
@@legendofman12 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then the US and Canada have nothing to worry about no matter how close the Chinese jet is.
@@pjeng1 oh okay
@@XG916 Please cherish this moment of seeing the US spy planes fooling around near Chinese coastal lines because you might never see this happen again in the next five to ten years.
Well there's only one reason for going public.... so what now?

You let a balloon traverse the United States and did nothing. Do you really think they were going to use a blimp next? Going from balloon to blimp, then a P51 Mustang to a jet😂
Seems China needs to learn a lesson.
Why were you in their territory?
Preparation for 3th upcoming w'ar after Ukraine and Gaza
International air space which as a signator to the United Nations China recognizes.
America, stay in your lane.
Lol you're mad that they intercepted your SPY planes. Lol wtf
I’m MORE CONCERNED about Biden from saying something wrong and pissing off the world
you should let me know before you came out from your front door, because I am hanging around your front door for all days
USA doesn't like weather balloons around their shores. Likewise, don't bring your aircrafts and navy ships to the shores of others.
China can fly close to the US if we ever threaten to invade Mexico, Canada or Cuba or claim international waters, like what the CCP is doing with Taiwan and the South China Sea.
You have zero clue what you're talking about. Our military presence in eastern asia is much more justified than the chinese sending over balloons over the actual US, not even around it. We have actual allies in the form of south korea and japan, which also links up with southern/eastern asia as a whole. Us being "close" to china is a blatantly deceitful attempt at justifying that the US should abandon all our allies in asia.
Please learn to think before speaking.
I'd bet not one of these cases were anywhere near the American coast. Stay home and there will be no accidents
Errr.... the thing about spy planes in "international airspace" is pretty vague. While a spy plane itself is physically within international airspace- its spying capabilities spreads to dozens of miles in radius, going well within nation's airspace and territory. Same with Russia's reaction to US spy planes. They understand prettyw ell that these placnes have a long distance radar and vision to see within their territory. So poking finger solely about international airpsace, is not quite right.
Lmao they're crying about Chinese jets flying in Chinese airspace
What are you doing there!?!?! Stay at home and don't roar like stuck!
We checking you wife out
@@jimjones9239 because we checked yours and you have to return it
The South China Sea is not the American sea.
One hundred and eighty such incidents, yet the U.S. does nothing but whine. Americans used to be brave people. What happened?
one intruder intercepting another intruder. both are threat for the world peace.
China threatened America or anyone?
US must revealed where were those intercept occure , if it in South China Sea , it US that trasspasing China souverign air space.
Why is USA always flying close to Chinas airspace week in week out? USA flying close to Chinas airspace is not with good intentions.This behaviour is risky and taunting so USA has to stop it rather than blaming China.Okay then China and Russia should fly their plane up and down the international airspace near USA every week.How would USA feel?
🎵🎶🎵Bye bye American empire smoke of Lies (🍪Pies 🍪) LOL 😂😂😂
The only concern I have is the rate our government is creating so many problems all over the world come on by the time election come the world will hate us let’s get it together. We need friends not enemies
Well lets not forget the viral pandemic the CCP released on the world, but you do realize that alot of these problems are orchestrated specifically for the election year, so they influence people to vote for them, cause they have the solution.
People, Countrys who gave over decade to Provokation other Countrys is out of Respekt but gave once aha effect than is clear the play Time forever End!!
So...two front wars are not enough?
There's always a final push
Blah blah blah ya just don’t like threats just say it for what it is
In China do that , somebody b*lls shrink.
Under international spying law? Are you kidding us? So they have the right to fly near you and said, "Are we ok?".
Yup, just a little sack tickle to see "how you doin'?". They know you're hands are full between your geezer president, 2 wards, major domestic issues and financial woes. It's part of the 100 year plan after all.
Lol. Chinese give these dude something to do and talk. Lol😂
It takes a lot of money to send a war plane out.
Most countries do not spend that money unless they are going to war.
Americans spend such money and owe trillions of dollars that their grandchildren cannot pay.
Yes not in the fabelas where you live.
Looks like normal flying to me. Which footage shows aggressiveness? Dose international waters means the US can be there but others can’t? What are you doing so close to other nations’ borders 200 times? If I loitering outside of your house 200 times a year but just 2 feet away your property, should I be mad at you for confronting me on the streets and warning you that your behavior is causing tension and concerns??!! 😂Imperialistic logic
what a shnoz on that guy
😅😅😅
US is so perfect hah
He was trying to surrender
Yes, he might fire a missile to surrender.
Just simply pull back from the airspace
The foolishness of a big bully has no boundaries.
