The Chinese military has published a 12-second video claiming to show an Australian surveillance aircraft flying in a “malicious” and “unprofessional” manner close to warships from the People’s Liberation Army-Navy .
"The Australian military aircraft's conduct was malicious in intention and unprofessional in operation and posed threats to the safety of ships, aircraft and personnel of both sides."Australian government figures have expressed strong scepticism about the authenticity of the 12-second vision, which was first published last week but has not been widely seen until now.
Another government official described the video as "the vaguest footage," noting that the Australian Defence Force has declared that its P-8 Poseidon remained approximately 4 kilometres from the Chinese vessels throughout.
What don’t you understand China. Take your bullying somewhere else. Or did you go to the same schools as Penny Wong.
Total BS
Rubbish , Chinese propaganda
First thing the Chinese will do is lie to save face. It their core values. Lie about the terrible truth
If the Chinese crew say they didn't target the Aus plane with a laser, then they didn't. The Chinese are an honourable people & wouldn't lie. If the Chinese crew say they felt threatened by the Aus plane flying by, then it's true, Chinese are an honourable people and don't lie.
Why should anyone believe Morrison's version he does nothing but lie, I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth!
Fortunately, the RAAF was spying on the Chinese and not Russian warships. Otherwise, provocation at four kilometers, and the detection and release of sonobuoys, it will be a missile to meet the RAAF.
Why ABC delayed for nearly a week to make it repirted to audiences?
True, those navy boys can be a real nuisance - but they do have an uncanny knack of getting their point across
“Do unto others as they do unto you”. Strange how the Chinese military don’t like having their feathers ruffled but don’t worry about ruffling other peoples.
Flying in a 'nuisance manner'....just flying nearby they'd find it nuisancing. Don't see a banking swoop, just straight flying. Headline should read: Chinese warship intimidated by aircraft flying.
China is the “nuisance” 😄
I find it hard to believe that the warship didn't have 360° cameras capturing footage and instead relied on a crew members iPhone 4 footage.
Just kick em out of Darwin port ffs. Stop buying inferior Chinese crap it only lasts a week at best anyways. Start manufacturing here in oz again and give the middle finger to the rest of the world..
What would BAE sponsored ABC journalists say about it?
Any non military citizen could imagine that both military aviation and naval sectors possess standard radar capabilities and that both parties would've had pre visual knowledge of each other's locations. However, It sounds reasonable to assert that a avionics unit could've divert
That's it? That's the footage? Give me a break.
That explains it. Scomo must have been the pretend pilot after the other stunts
Took a while for them to fake this video. Standards are slipping!
One Aust Gov minister claims not our plane and fake info, another Aust Gov Minister that the footage was 'vague' but the ADF said 4km, the ADF claim is was 7km+ at 457m.....better for all to be telling the same lie. Lucky, US warships shoot you down at that range.
Wow is that it!! Pathetic
Not much of a video is it..question marks all over it? Obviously chopped to the max. If they're trying to prove the ADF at being a pest they need to do better than that.
I don’t see it.
Weren't they in the Torres Strait north of Thursday Island? Fairly close to home, guess we can expect that if we're gonna sail our ships through the Taiwan Strait.
Yeah naaah
LNP has been pushing the media to report on China no matter what
Utter rubbish. Go away.
It’s not like China hasn’t done that to Australia! Babies 👶🏻
Good
The ABC has an obligation to report the news. The news is that the PLAN claims that the ADF made an unprofessional pass. The video provided by the ABC shows that this was not the case. Good job .
NONONO, is wasn't the ADF from Australia, It was a F22 from Tonga.
So China are now denying the laser event that they previously admitted to, saying it never happened. How Orwellian. It seems 'Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia'.
Is this the Australian Broadcasting Commission? Or the CCP's Australian appesment and propaganda commision! Why even publish it you are serving the interests of the CCP!
Now denying the laser event that they admitted to never happened. How Orwellian. It seems 'Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia'.
You have got to be kidding ABC!!! This film just shows a plane of some description in the air. Stop pushing the CCP agenda!!
Quite simple - start doing some UAV seafloor mapping - just don’t tell the PLA which UAV’s are armed……🤷♂️😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 awe china, so desperate to stay in the limelight now russia is the main stories.
