WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The Pentagon revealed Friday a Chinese fighter jet performed "dangerous" maneuvers in close proximity to a U.S. military aircraft on Tuesday, and that the U.S. has filed a formal complaint with China.
Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby provided details about the incident, which he described as a "dangerous intercept" by a Chinese fighter jet that flew within 20 feet of a U.S. Navy Poseidon P-8 patrol aircraft, conducted a "barrel roll" and showed its underbelly "to make a point of showing its weapons."
