China showed for the first time the interception of an American F-16 over the Yellow Sea.
China Central Television released footage of a Jian-10C fighter jet from the PLA Air Force's 34th Air Force Wing intercepting a foreign aircraft over the Yellow Sea. The escort target was an F-16 of the US Air Force. Most likely, we are talking about a plane based in Osan or Kunsan in South Korea. The 35th, 36th and 80th fighter squadrons are stationed there, operating modern F-16 aircraft that have received state-of-the-art AN/APG-83 SABR radars.
