Chinese fighter jet flies 'within 10ft' of US B-52
A US Air Force B-52 has been subjected to an "unsafe intercept" from a Chinese fighter jet, with the Department of Defense saying it came dangerously close to the American bomber.
The DOD said the Stratofortress had been "lawfully conducting routine operations over the South China Sea in international airspace" when the Chinese Shenyang J-11 intercepted it.
According to the DOD, the Chinese pilot "flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner".
