US officials released a video of a Chinese fighter jet intercepting a US aircraft over the South China Sea. A former American aviator told Insider the incident highlights how Chinese pilots are "willing to challenge" the US in the area. "What we're witnessing is an increasingly competent and better trained Chinese flying cadre" that is "willing to challenge the US and allied flights occurring near the PRC air defense identification zone," retired Cmdr. The US says it documented more than 180 coercive or risky intercepts by Chinese aircraft since fall 2021. Two US Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft sit parked on the flight line at MacDill Air Force Base in 2021.

☆ China's J-20 stealth jet isn't 'a dominating aircraft,' but it doesn't need to be for what China's military has planned

China's air force continues to improve and expand its fleet of J-20 stealth fighter jets. The J-20 is China's first stealth jet and a growing part of an already sizable aviation force. China's air force and navy now make up the largest aviation force in the region and the third largest in the world. They have a total of 1,900 fighter jets, including J-20s that have been "operationally fielded" by China's air force, according to the US Defense Department.

Zhou Chenming, a researcher with the Beijing-based Yuan Wang military science technology think tank, said the PLA was learning from the Russian army, especially about the use of drones. Retired PLA instructor Song Zhongping said the scenarios in the CCTV programme appeared to mirror combat conditions in Ukraine. "The Ukraine war has inspired many militaries in their modernisation efforts," Song said. "The PLA has kept a close eye [on the Ukraine war] to update training." The 82nd Army Group, formerly the 38th Army Corps, is mainly responsible for the security of Beijing.
