The Chinese People's Liberation Army recently staged an intercept exercise targeting the U.S.' latest stealth fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor, Hong Kong's Apple Daily reported Thursday.
Japanese media on Oct. 3 reported that the Japanese and U.S. militaries will carry out a joint exercise to practice recapturing the disputed Senkaku or Diaoyutai Islands in November, in case the Chinese capture them in a surprise attack. It said the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier George Washington and F-22 Raptors will take part in the exercise.
On Oct. 8, five days after the report, a Chinese Air Force brigade in the Chengdu military district practiced firing a Hong Qi No. 9 missile, China's newest ground-to-air missile, to hit a target assumed to be an F-22, the Apple Daily said.
The Science and Technology Daily, published in Beijing, wrote a story about the drill. "Right after the radar sent the information on the location of the stealth fighter to the missile launch team, the Hong Qi No. 9 missile flew into the clouds and an explosion was heard only 40 seconds later. There was loud applause for the success of the exercise," it said.

Can you imagine fighting the Chinese with all these “Gays” trying to “love”each other (or any one) in a fox hole and women screaming in the battlefield or on board ships in combat? We need to “man up” and quick.
Ping.
How are they practicing intercepting something they don’t know when it is coming and where it is coming from? Do they just hop in their aircraft and start flying to every tiny blip the radar operator sees?
Well, hitting a drone with none of the F-22’s characteristics is quite different from engaging a real F-22 with a real pilot.
Maybe they are developing special radar or heat signature
I think their military’s sensitivity training consists of telling the troops to try not to step on their own wounded when advancing.
Watch the trial of that Wahhabi Moslem,”Major” Hussein !! They will close it to the public and you won’t hear his ties to Islam and the terrorists at the Mosques he went to and how he screamed “Alla Ackbar” as he murdered our brothers and sisters in fulfillment of his “religion”
China would do well to remember who helped when they were attacked by the Rising Sun, their evil little neighbor
Why should we care?
It is nice to know that the Chinese got some use out of all that technology Bill Clinton handed to them.
Wish I could cite a link; read it here originally.

Here’s how to defeat us, guys. We’ll show you how to defeat our $____million
fighter plane. Now. aren’t we nice?
Look at a map.
Look for "Senyaku Is." and then "Formosa"/"Taiwan", and then "Okinawa" and "Naha".
Lots of Americans in Naha.
.....how the Iraqi Air Force and Republican Guards disappeared.
This is about the Chinese younger generation spoiling to pick a fight with us. They think they can handle us. They can't. But they've started pushing, and are telling us to clear out of WESTPAC ..... including Japanese and Philippine waters. Going by that recent Chicom "official" party newsrag we saw passed around on FR.
They've already made their decision, it sounds like.
The Chicoms have nothing of the sort until our Gov’t gives it to them.
