The United States has said that a Chinese Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) J-16 fighter aircraft conducted an unsafe manoeuvre near a US Air Force (USAF) Boeing RC-135V Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft on 26 May.

美国表示，5月26日，一架中国沈阳飞机公司（SAC）J-16战斗机在美国空军（USAF）波音RC-135V“联合铆钉”侦察机附近进行了一次不安全的演习。

 

US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) said in a statement on 30 May that the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) J-16 “performed an unnecessarily aggressive manoeuvre during the intercept of a US Air Force RC-135 aircraft”.

美国印度-太平洋司令部（INDOPACOM）在5月30日的一份声明中表示，中国人民解放军（PLA）J-16“在拦截一架RC-135飞机时进行了不必要的侵略机动”。

 

INDOPACOM added that the Chinese “pilot flew directly in front of the nose of the RC-135, forcing the US aircraft to fly through its wake turbulence”. This action describes the buffeting turbulence experienced by an aircraft caused by another jet aircraft flying in close proximity ahead of it.

美国印度-太平洋司令部补充说，中国“飞行员直接飞到RC-135的机头前，迫使美国飞机通过其尾流湍流飞行”。该动作描述了由另一架喷气式飞机引起的飞机所经历的抖振湍流

 

The incident took place over the South China Sea, according to INDOPACOM.

据印度-太平洋司令部报告，事件发生在中国南海上空。
