According to a recent report by the U.S. Newsweek, Canada's CP-140 Aurora anti-submarine patrol aircraft (the U.S.-made P-3C) was deployed to carry out United Nations sanctions against North Korea, and under the pretext of monitoring North Korean ships, it intentionally approached China's airspace in the East China Sea. It was then subjected to continuous tracking, verification, identification, and warning by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force's Su-30MKK and J-16 fighter jets.
The Su-30MKK and J-16 are both twin-engine, twin-seat heavy fighters with long range and large operational radius, capable of conducting prolonged tracking and surveillance of the CP-140, thereby foiling the latter's attempt to rely on the CP-140's long range and extended loiter time to engage in a contest with our military. Under the pressure from our Su-30MKK and J-16, the Canadian CP-140 had to retreat back to the U.S. Kadena Air Base in Okinawa.
From the video captured by the CP-140, it can be seen that our J-16 fighter jet is equipped with four advanced air-to-air missiles, including two PL-15 beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles and one PL-10 short-range dogfighting air-to-air missile.
As for when this incident actually occurred, the U.S. media did not specify. However, it can be seen that our military remains vigilant at all times, and can respond swiftly to any attempts by others to conduct close reconnaissance. Moreover, our fighter jets are highly advanced, and they handle such aerial situations with ease.
