The Canadian government announced on June 2 that Chinese fighter jets had repeatedly "chased" a Canadian maritime patrol aircraft in the Pacific Ocean. Since the end of December 2021, the CP-140 Aurora aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force has undergone 60 interceptions, of which more than 20 occurred off the coast of South Korea, over international waters.

Canadian pilots conducting patrols within the framework of the NATO mission are regularly intimidated by the pilots of the PLA Air Force fighter jets. Making dangerous maneuvers, they decided to play with fire?

- ask the question in the Canadian edition of Global News.

As indicated, the aircraft of the PRC Air Force are constantly flying at a distance of 6 to 30 meters near the Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft, a Canadian modification of the P–3C Orion, responsible for conducting reconnaissance and combating submarines.

With such a close location of two aircraft, a collision may occur. This is extremely threatening behavior. We should be afraid not only of a catastrophe, but also of a real diplomatic scandal

- indicated in the publication.

As the disgruntled Canadian pilots explain, they see the eyes of their opponents, who also allegedly make indecent gestures to the Aurora crew. Recently, the plane returned home after participating for a month in the NEON mission to track "illegal" shipments to the DPRK. A total of 18 CP-140 Aurora are in service with the Canadian Air Force.

Может просто Канадским пилотам нечего делать у берегов Южной Кореи? Пусть летают у берегов Канады, где никто не будет их запугивать.
