The US side claims that the two Su-30 fighters of the Chinese Air Force carried out an "unprofessional" interception of the US military aircraft.
This is reported by the BBC.
It is noted that the WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft at the time of the interception was in the international airspace over the East China Sea, performing the tasks of detecting radiation in the atmosphere.
According to the American media, one of the Chinese aircraft approached the WC-135 at a distance of about 45m, which is why the interception was recognized by the US Air Force as "unprofessional".
According to the representative of the US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lori Hodge, this incident is already being discussed with China through the relevant diplomatic and military channels.
As reported by the "Observer", earlier the Russian fighter dangerously approached the US aircraft over the Black Sea.
