Japan shoots down 2 Chinese J-10 fighter jets.

Fight is over islands claimed by both Japan and China.

Chinese jets were doing close fly-by of Japan military.

Japan fired warning shots.

After prolonged harassment they fired two missles and downed both aircraft (video included) looks like at least one pilot ejected, from the video.

I have family, and property in Philippines. China is getting increasingly aggressive to Philippines also.

Doesn’t make headlines here in US, but this increasingly dangerous times in the region.

Can’t find any outlet internationally running the story. Odd that it’s only YouTube. One would think if there is video, at least one outlet would verify it and run it.

No, it's bs

why are members starring and flagging this thread? lol

a reply to: pianopraze

Why are you posting a hoax?

If that happened in reality it would be instant WW3.

Your thread is total hoax and you are deceiving the ATS community.

You should be ashamed lying infront of us all like this.

Not necessarily. The US and Russia shot down each other's aircraft multiple times during the Cold War and it didn't happen.

Yeah, blatant hoax. I can't believe anyone star and flagged this. I guess that's why the African prince scams lasted so long. There's still suckers out there that will believe anything.

Relax there cowboy. Your not a mod.

Doubt this was done intentionally.

Long time members don't usually do this, as not to get banned.

Maybe they really didn't know, if things are escalating in that part of the world

I will have it removed, I can only find YouTube videos of this incident.

Also being reported several places on twitter. That’s where I found it.

Mods please remove until further verification can be found. My apologies.

Title had me worried for a second, but thankfully it's an obvious hoax.

If you look at the youtube uploaders page he has 100s of clickbait videos claiming WW3 has begun and China has attacled the US, UK Japan. Taiwan, Phillipines and 100s of ships and planes have been sunk over the last few months.

Maybe because they want to follow it?

Staring and flagging does not mean agreement or support.

a reply to: pianopraze

This channel and others like it have claimed Chinese aircraft shot down on Guam, and attacks on Chinese ships. It’s complete BS. Japan isn’t going to shoot down Chinese aircraft unless they shoot first.

Actually, if you want to follow it, you can just hit the subscribe button.

People forget about it

a reply to: CoyoteAngels Ack, I'm one of the guilty S&F -errs, Hit the button before I did my research, I'm embarrassed...

As a naval veteran, and someone who has worked with JSDF both in the military and out, I strongly believe they would have never fired on these aircraft for doing fly-bys. this is a hoax.

I dont really understand all of ATS features. Many are mysterious.

LOL
Do what I did, just click on everything, and hope my computer didn't crash.

It takes a while. I still don't know alot.
Just learned about the subscribe, for pretty much what happened with this thread. Didn't believe it, so I didn't want to reward it, but wanted to be able to find it again, if it didn't get trashed.
