What kind of Chinese fighter buzzed P-8 last week?
Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering what model of fighter jet buzzed
that P-8 Poseidon patrol plane last week: http://static3.nydailynews.com/polop...nterceptor.jpg It could be either be the Shenyang J-11, J-15, or J-16, all nearly identical to each other in appearance and to the similar Russian models they are based on. The J-16 is rumored to have already been deployed, and this looks like they might have wanted to show it off. This also fits with their strategy of "anti-access and aerial denial," showing that they now have the air power to enforce whatever they deem to be their territorial airspace. |
