Today I came across a tweet by Masakazu Toda, a former fighter pilot of the Self-Defense Forces and former deputy commander of Naha Base.
He questioned that Chinese fighter jets "radar-locked" the F-15, and Japan was very alarmed, but this is completely different from a ship's "lock-on." Between fighter jets, it is normal for them to lock on each other in order to obtain information such as the other's altitude, direction, and speed. Why did the Ministry of Defense release the information in this way? Or is this another case of media rushing to report? This method of releasing information is very dangerous.
