China chases US, Japanese planes in air zone + Video

PressTV - China chases US, Japanese planes in air zone
Chinese fighter jets have chased the US and Japanese military aircraft inside China’s newly declared Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea.

Chinese defense authorities say they sent more fighter jets to the newly-declared air defense zone in the East China Sea on Friday. This is the first time Chinese fighters fly over the region.

Friday was the second day Beijing deployed its aircraft to the controversial zone.

The Chinese air force described the mission as a defensive measure in line with international law. Beijing also says the country's air force will remain on high alert and take measures to deal with all air threats to protect China’s national security.

The Chinese Air Force spokesman, Col. Shen Jinke, said Chinese warplanes had been scrambled to identify US surveillance aircraft and several Japanese planes crossing through the zone.

Last week, the country announced that foreign aircraft passing through the airspace, including passenger planes, will have to identify themselves to Chinese authorities.

In defiance of Beijing's move, Japan and South Korea also flew military aircraft through the zone on Thursday while Washington sent two unarmed bombers into the airspace earlier this week. None of those aircraft informed Beijing.

The zone includes the skies over islands at the heart of a territorial dispute between Japan and China.

On September 11, 2012, Tokyo signed a deal to buy three of the islands from their private Japanese owner in line with plans to nationalize the archipelago.

In late April, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Tokyo would “expel by force” any Chinese individual landing on the islands, following an incident during which eight Chinese vessels entered the disputed waters.

Senior Chinese officials have repeatedly called on Washington not to take sides over the issue.

[notsuperstitious]

By chases you mean flew right behind them and saved some fuel?

Seems press tv is banned in Pakistan, can't see the video.

LOL..where is the chase???its just showing few aircrafts taking off and landing,past videos no doubt.plus,how can Chinese aircraft chase one when the ADIZ itself belongs to International Airspace..

@WebMaster @Aeronaut @Oscar

you guys might want to lock this thread as it based on fake news...

Why would a simple lack of video be proof that this is somehow "fabricated"? There are no videos of the B-52s flying over the zone and yet people are pretty prone to believe that.

its not lack of video,its lack of knowledge.China isn't paranoid enough to chase any aircraft at international airspace.it will be equal to declaration of war.its just like open fire to any ship at international water.

Why wouldn't they be paranoid when the US is launching lots of flight activity? Chasing aircraft in international airspace is nothing like an act of war; countries do it all the time since the 50s.

actually no.Countries don't chase any aircraft in International Airspace unless they're in the state of war.can you show a single instance where some Japanese aircraft chased a Chinese aircraft in international airspace???and lots of flight activity by USA happened in the airspace inside Taiwanese or inside Korean or Japanese or in International airspace.nobody enters another country's airspace without authorization.

If there is any conflict between Iran-US, china will side with US as they need our market to export their goods. They will leave your country out to dry.

We don`t need anyone

China official statement never use the word CHASE, it is simply wanton use of words by PressTV, typical of Western press using negative words when reporting news on China and other nations they don't like.

Operational requirements for aircraft operations associated with an ADIZ are as follows:

d and e below, an IFR or DVFR flight plan must be filed with an appropriate aeronautical facility as follows:

(a) Generally, for all operations that enter an ADIZ.

(b) For operations that will enter or exit the U.S. and which will operate into, within or across the Contiguous U.S. ADIZ regardless of true airspeed.

(c) The flight plan must be filed before departure except for operations associated with the Alaskan ADIZ when the airport of departure has no facility for filing a flight plan, in which case the flight plan may be filed immediately after takeoff or when within range of the aeronautical facility.

2. Two-way Radio. For the majority of operations associated with an ADIZ, an operating two-way radio is required. See 14 CFR Section 99.1 for exceptions.

c1 through c3, pilots operating within a Land-Based ADIZ must report landing or leaving the Land-Based ADIZ if flying too low for radar coverage.

(b) Pilots unable to comply with all requirements must remain clear of Land-Based ADIZ. Pilots entering a Land-Based ADIZ without authorization or who fail to follow all requirements risk interception by military fighter aircraft.

FIG 5-6-1).

1. Approach Phase.As standard procedure, intercepted aircraft are approached from behind. Typically, interceptor aircraft will be employed in pairs, however, it is not uncommon for a single aircraft to perform the intercept operation. Safe separation between interceptors and intercepted aircraft is the responsibility of the intercepting aircraft and will be maintained at all times.

2. Identification Phase.Interceptor aircraft will initiate a controlled closure toward the aircraft of interest, holding at a distance no closer than deemed necessary to establish positive identification and to gather the necessary information. The interceptor may also fly past the intercepted aircraft while gathering data at a distance considered safe based on aircraft performance characteristics.

3. Post Intercept Phase.An interceptor may attempt to establish communications via standard ICAO signals. In time-critical situations where the interceptor is seeking an immediate response from the intercepted aircraft or if the intercepted aircraft remains non-compliant to instruction, the interceptor pilot may initiate a divert maneuver. In this maneuver, the interceptor flies across the intercepted aircraft's flight path (minimum 500 feet separation and commencing from slightly below the intercepted aircraft altitude) in the general direction the intercepted aircraft is expected to turn. The interceptor will rock its wings (daytime) or flash external lights/select afterburners (night) while crossing the intercepted aircraft's flight path. The interceptor will roll out in the direction the intercepted aircraft is expected to turn before returning to verify the aircraft of interest is complying. The intercepted aircraft is expected to execute an immediate turn to the direction of the intercepting aircraft. If the aircraft of interest does not comply, the interceptor may conduct a second climbing turn across the intercepted aircraft's flight path (minimum 500 feet separation and commencing from slightly below the intercepted aircraft altitude) while expending flares as a warning signal to the intercepted aircraft to comply immediately and to turn in the direction indicated and to leave the area. The interceptor is responsible to maintain safe separation during these and all intercept maneuvers. Flight safety is paramount.

NOTE-1. NORAD interceptors will take every precaution to preclude the possibility of the intercepted aircraft experiencing jet wash/wake turbulence; however, there is a potential that this condition could be encountered.

2. During Night/IMC, the intercept will be from below flight path.
