At approximately 0700 hours today, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) conducted a Maritime Domain Awareness Flight over the territorial airspace of Bajo De Masinloc, accompanied by personnel from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and photojournalists.
Around 0839 hours, a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA-Navy) helicopter, identified by tail number 68, performed dangerous flight maneuvers towards the BFAR aircraft. This reckless action posed a serious risk to the safety of the pilots and passengers during the MDA flight.
The PLA-Navy helicopter came as close as three (3) meters to the port side and above the BFAR aircraft, raising significant concerns regarding the PLA-Navy's clear violation and blatant disregard for the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) international aviation regulations.
The PCG and BFAR remain committed to asserting our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea, despite the aggressive and escalatory actions of China.
Two video and two photos showing behavior on Chicom helicopter pilot.
I think most of us remember the Wang Wei incident in 2001. It seems the communist Chinesecwant a repeat of that.
I wish all that equipment we sent to the Ukraine had gone to the Philippines instead.
Thats WHY it didnt go there. Now someone is going to have to make a whole second batch.
The Bide3n Crime Family was obviously in bed with the Chicoms and would do nothing to interfere.
Yeah.
The PI should do something provocative costing a Chinese life or two. Would Xi escalate and not worry about what Trump would do?

Thanks.
LOl, it means you find something intresting and you want to “Bump For Later” (BFL) so you can examine It later in more detail!
When I first saw it years ago, I tried to noodle out something like “Does it mean “Big *F***ng La-de-da”? But was gratified it wasn’t an insult.
People used to write bookmark or placeholder or for later.
It’s probably bookmarked for later.
