J-11 encountered the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft at close range this time. The US military reconnaissance aircraft took the initiative to create a crisis. Therefore, in the subsequent confrontation, the pilots need to videotape the US aircraft throughout the entire process, which can defeat the US military's purpose of attacking them.

Recently, a US military RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft was intercepted by our J-11 fighter jets while conducting close reconnaissance near the Paracel Islands . According to footage captured by both parties, a US reconnaissance plane took the initiative to approach the J-11 during the confrontation, triggering a potential sea and air security incident.

Sources from our southern theater said that the US military reconnaissance aircraft suddenly changed its flight status despite the warning of the J-11 pilot, which almost caused a collision. According to the video footage, we can also see that the RC-135 reconnaissance plane moved to the left, seemingly intentionally hitting it. Through simple analysis, it is not difficult for us to judge that the action of the US reconnaissance plane was not an intentional collision, but the purpose was obviously not simple.
The reason is, first, if the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft collides with the J-11, the J-11 pilot can eject to save his life. The sea area where the incident occurred is near the Paracel Islands and is within the control range of our sea and air forces. The possibility of the pilot surviving is very high . If the US military RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft is damaged, it is likely to crash. If it makes an emergency landing, data leakage may also occur. Therefore, based on the security of reconnaissance data and the inability to guarantee the life safety of more than a dozen crew members, the possibility that the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft intentionally collided with the J-11 is very low, and the US military itself will not be able to take advantage of it.

Second, the more likely reason is that the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft moved to the left to frame the situation, trying to get behind the J-11, creating the illusion that the J-11 used wake interception. In fact, the J-11 did not move. The US military has good reasons for doing this. Facing the J-11 with superior mobility, the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft is useless no matter how hard it hides.
Therefore, it is better to actively retreat behind the J-11 to form the relative position of the J-11 in the front. It looks like the J-11 first uses its maneuverability to implement wake interference and then rake it back. What the US military didn't expect was that we took the initiative to release the video from the pilot's perspective this time. It was the US reconnaissance plane that moved to the left first, so that the US reconnaissance plane's strategy of hitting the enemy in reverse was defeated before it was formed.

RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of more than 140 tons. It is obviously impossible to intentionally collide with the J-11. If the US military does so, it is likely to be buried in the sea. The reconnaissance equipment on the RC-135 is also very expensive. If it makes an emergency landing at Xisha Airport, the US military will also face the risk of data leakage.
In summary, the J-11 encountered the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft at close range this time. The US reconnaissance aircraft took the initiative to create a crisis. Therefore, in the subsequent confrontation, the pilots need to videotape the US aircraft throughout the entire process, which can defeat the US military's purpose of attacking them.
