US Plane Forced to Take Evasive Maneuvers After Chinese Fighter Intercepts It

A Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. spy plane over the South China Sea last week, the U.S. military’s Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) said Thursday.
A Chinese Navy (PLAN) J-11 fighter jet intercepted the U.S.-operated RC-135 Rivet Joint that was performing a routine intelligence-gathering operation in the waters off China’s southeast coast on Dec. 21, according to a statement from the U.S. military.
