The United States regularly provokes its opponents, especially Russia and China, by sending advanced spy planes near its borders in serious incidents that put the world on the brink of war with unimaginable consequences.
The Hainan Island incident on April 1, 2001 was an example of this kind of adventurous policy to test the reactions of US opponents by harassing them on their borders beyond the seas and oceans.
On that day, a US Navy EP-3E Ares II spy plane collided with a Chinese J-8A fighter that took off with a second fighter to intercept the US spy plane and prevent it from approaching the country's borders.
After the American spy plane collided with the Chinese fighter over the waters of the South China Sea, the Chinese fighter crashed, while the American spy plane was damaged and sent a distress call before landing at Hainan Island airport.
The Chinese lost the pilot of the "G-8" fighter, who was killed after his plane crashed, while the Chinese authorities arrested the 24 crew members of the American spy plane and interrogated them.
Chinese official version:
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement at the time stating that the American four-engine "EB-3" spy plane, which took off from the Kadena Air Base of the US Air Force in Okinawa, Japan, suddenly changed its direction while it was 10 kilometers from the Chinese island of Hainan. And it came into contact with the nose and the left wing of a Chinese fighter, which led to its crash, and the loss of its commander, according to the initial version before announcing his death.
Beijing has placed full responsibility for the incident on the shoulders of the United States, stressing that a US military reconnaissance plane entered, on the morning of April 1, 2001, Chinese airspace southeast of Hainan Island, and that two Chinese fighters took off to intercept it, and that the American spy plane, which was 104 kilometers away, From the island, it suddenly changed direction towards the two Chinese fighters and hit and damaged one of them, causing it to crash.
The official American novel:
The Americans said, through their navy, that the American reconnaissance plane was in international airspace, when it was attacked by two Chinese fighters, pointing out in their assertion that the two Chinese fighters did not try to force the American plane to land. The Americans then suggested that they "believe" that the Chinese fighter was unharmed!
What if the Chinese ran out of patience in 2001?
Information about the American spy plane:
The American spy plane "EP-3" is a "F-3 Orion" patrol plane, equipped with special equipment.
This aircraft is equipped with two radars on the upper and lower surfaces of its structure. It is also equipped with special communication, detection and analysis systems, jamming systems and infrared detection equipment, and an automatic system for decoding electronic signals.
The end of the crisis:
After the US side expressed "deep regret" over the air accident, China released the crew of the US spy plane on April 11, 2001.
All 24 crew members of the American spy plane left China on a chartered Boeing 737, which landed at Andersen Air Force Base on the island of Guam in the western Pacific Ocean.
Such frictions can occur and are a possibility, but their recurrence in more than one hotspot region and in almost the same scenario indicates that the United States is either trying to find a justification for war, or is testing the patience of its opponents!
However, with every serious friction, the United States shows itself as a victim, and that others harassed it and tried to harm it, completely ignoring that it was it that traveled tens of thousands of miles and looked out at others from their border windows. Source: RT
