CCTV News:On the evening of December 10th, our Ministry of National Defense released a rare news to the outside world. Two F-15 fighter planes of the Japanese Self-Defense Force interfered with the Chinese aircraft at close range and fired jamming bombs, endangering the safety of the Chinese aircraft and personnel.
△ On December 10th, at the 2016 Aviation Festival (Open Day) held at Naha Base in Ryukyu, two sub-F-15J fighters suddenly took off with live ammunition in the morning when there was no air show, and then four batches of eight F-15J fighters took off in an emergency, during which an E-2C early warning aircraft numbered 34-3452 took off.
Ministry of National Defense: Seriously concerned that Japanese planes interfere with normal training in China.
Yang Yujun, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, said yesterday that on the morning of December 10th, China Air Force planes went to the western Pacific for routine offshore training via Miyako Strait airspace, and the Japanese Self-Defense Force dispatched a batch of two F-15 fighter planes to jam the Chinese aircraft at close range and fired jamming bombs, endangering the safety of Chinese aircraft and personnel. Chinese pilots immediately took necessary countermeasures and continued to carry out relevant training.
Miyako Strait is recognized as an international waterway, and the China Air Force’s offshore training is a routine arrangement in the annual plan, which is not aimed at any specific country or target and conforms to relevant international laws and practices.
The behavior of Japanese military aircraft is dangerous and unprofessional, which undermines the freedom of navigation and overflight given by international law. China expressed serious concern about this and made solemn representations.
It should be pointed out that in recent years, the repeated interference activities of Japanese ships and aircraft can easily lead to misunderstanding and misjudgment, and lead to air-sea friction and even conflict. We urge Japan to proceed from maintaining regional stability and the overall situation of Sino-Japanese relations and take effective measures to prevent the occurrence of sea and air security problems.
Expert: the launch of jamming bombs shows that Japan is in a passive state and has been bitten by our fighters.
Fu Sentinel, an air force expert, said that it was obvious that the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force interfered with me at close range when I was conducting normal training on the international waterway, which caused interference to my formation. In this case, our pilots took maneuvers and occupied a favorable position. "The launch of the jamming bomb shows that the Japanese F-15 is in a passive state and was bitten by our fighter plane and forced to launch the jamming bomb to escape."
Fu Sentinel introduced that jamming bombs are used to protect themselves. There are two kinds of general jamming bombs: one is infrared jamming bomb, which is used to trick the enemy’s infrared guided weapons from the real target; One is chaff jamming bomb, which is used to jam radar guidance.
This is also the second time this year that close air interference has occurred between Chinese and Japanese fighters. On June 17 this year, two Soviet armies of China — 30 fighters routinely cruise in the East China Sea air defense identification zone. Two F&mdash per day; The 15 fighter planes approached the provocation at high speed and even turned on the fire control radar to illuminate me. Our military plane responded decisively, taking tactical maneuvers and other measures, and the Japanese plane escaped after dropping infrared jamming bombs.
After the incident, the Japanese side boasted that "China’s military aircraft began to cooperate with the actions at sea" and took "extremely provocative actions". For this reason, Japanese warplanes adopted self-defense devices and fired interfering thermal flares.
Fu Sentinel, an air force expert, said that the act of turning on the fire control radar was worse and the provocation was more serious. In this case, I reacted quickly, maneuvered and suppressed the Japanese fighter plane, forcing it to launch jamming bombs. "This also shows that China pilots have the initiative in the confrontation. First of all, the aircraft performance of both Su -30 and J -11 is higher than that of F-15. In addition, the technical level of China pilots is higher than that of Japanese pilots, so that they can have an advantage in close-range bonding. "

Expert: Japan knowingly commits a crime.
Shi Liang, a researcher at the South China Sea Research Collaborative Innovation Center, said that Miyako Strait is a sea passage between Okinawa, the main island of Ryukyu Islands, and Miyakojima. The strait is very wide, twice as wide as the Taiwan Province Strait. Legally speaking, Miyako Strait is a non-territorial sea strait. According to the provisions of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, ships and aircraft from all countries, including military aircraft, enjoy freedom of navigation and overflight in Miyako Strait. Therefore, China’s military aircraft crossing the Miyako Strait is completely legal from the perspective of international law, and the interference of Japanese military aircraft has seriously hindered the freedom of navigation of the international community, including China.

"It is worth noting that China has always been open and transparent about military aircraft crossing the Miyako Strait to conduct offshore training in the western Pacific Ocean." Shi Liang said that at the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense last month, in response to media questions about the training of PLA Air Force military aircraft flying over bashi channel and Miyako Strait, Yang Yujun, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, said that the training is a routine arrangement in the annual plan of the China Army, and such training will continue to be organized in the future. Therefore, of course, the Japanese side knows that China’s military aircraft will carry out routine training, and it does not rule out that the Japanese side has been guarding and monitoring the airspace of the relevant sea areas, waiting for an opportunity to interfere with the normal training of Chinese ships and aircraft. This knowingly behavior has deepened the Japanese malice.
For a long time, Japan has been tracking and monitoring our ships and aircraft in the sea and airspace near the Diaoyu Islands and in the international waterways entering and leaving the Western Pacific, and has actively publicized false news and provoked public opinion to render the China threat theory. This time, China uncharacteristically took the initiative to release news to the outside world, aiming at taking the initiative in the Sino-Japanese air and sea friction incident, preempting and clarifying the facts, instead of repeatedly responding passively.
