: Tensions have risen sharply in the South China Sea. A Chinese fighter jet recently dropped a jet chaff and flair (metal fragments, flames scattered to avoid missiles and radar) on a Poseidon flight from Australia. One of the chaplains thus released entered the engine of the P-8 aircraft. The plane immediately canceled its reconnaissance mission and returned to Australia. Responding to the incident, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said, “On May 26, a Chinese J-16 fighter jet came very close to the Australian reconnaissance aircraft P-8. At the same time the jet plane released the chaff. The P-8 then flew very close to the front. At the same time Chap released the bundle. Some of these pieces got into the P-8 engine. These small pieces of aluminum can destroy an aircraft engine, ”he said. The Australian plane immediately canceled its mission and withdrew. The P-8 can fly even if one engine is damaged. The Prime Minister of Australia Albanese said that his government would raise the issue in Beijing. International waters revealed that their aircraft were flying in line with freedom in airspace.
What a chaff, flair ..!
It is usually detected based on the heat emitted from the engines or the metal used to make the fighter to predict the arrival of the fighter. Radars send waves over these metal planets and detect them based on reflection. Large-scale aluminum or zinc fragments are emitted from warplanes to mislead radars. These are called chaff. Radar waves also touch and reflect these. This causes radars to be confused in locating targets.
Some types of missiles detect aircraft engine heat and attack them. To avoid this, the warplanes scatter magnesium pellets into the gall through special tubes. These burn in the gallons and generate heat of over 2,000 degrees. Heat detectors then treat these as airplanes, directing missiles in this direction. At the same time the fighter can escape.

This is the second time in a week that a dragon has acted aggressively with other countries’ aircraft in the South China Sea. Recently, a Chinese fighter jet crashed very close to a Canadian reconnaissance aircraft. The Canadian plane had to be diverted.
China also harassed an Australian P-8 aircraft in February this year. The plane applied lasers to confuse the pilots. There was a war of words between China and Australia over this. China has accused Australia of spreading false information.
US plane crashes in 2001.
The administration of the Chinese Air Force pilots in 2001 suddenly raised tensions. That year a Chinese F-8 fighter jet collided in an attempt to get very close to a U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft. The Chinese pilot was killed in the incident. The American plane had to land on the island of Hainan in China. With this, 24 American personnel were detained for 11 days and then released by China.
Dangerous secret missile tests ..
An American pilot recently uncovered footage of a missile fired by China from near a civilian aircraft. The video was taken from a Hong Kong – based Kathy Pacific airline Boeing 777. It was revealed that no Notam (Notice to Airmen) had been issued prior to the launch of this missile. It is estimated that Beijing secretly launched the missile. It is thought to be a JL-3 missile launched from a Type 094 submarine.
