Japan's Defense Ministry says it has confirmed the first-ever intrusion by a Chinese military aircraft into the country's airspace.
The ministry said a Y-9 intelligence-gathering aircraft entered the Japan's Air Defense Identification Zone over the East China Sea and was flying in the direction of Kyusyu on Monday morning.
The ministry said its Air Self-Defense Force fighters were scrambled to respond and radioed the Chinese aircraft not to get close to Japanese airspace.
It said that around 10:40 a.m, the Chinese plane started to circle over waters southeast of the Danjo Islands in Goto City in the southwestern prefecture of Nagasaki.
Then, around 11:29 a.m, it entered Japanese airspace from about 22 kilometers east of the islands and stayed there for about two minutes.
It left Japanese airspace at about 11:31 a.m. from the southeastern side of the islands.
After that, it continued circling the area. It headed for mainland China at about 1:15 p.m.
The ministry did not say whether it received any response from the Chinese aircraft while it all happened. It said the Japanese fighters did not use any weapons, including signal flares, for warning shots.

If Kamala doesn’t know what to do what do you think her supporters would think of her?

Throughout WWII, Nationalist China never flew over Japan?
Gojira is older and has better judgment these days.
He’s keeping his powder dry for now, and all the other monsters are following suit.
Besides, the Japs would kick butt on the CCP chinks in a sea war. They’ve got those really cool helicopter carriers, two if one recalls correctly, that... conveniently, if they were to try, F-35s could fly from.
Plus they, the japs that is, don’t admit it but they got nukes too... this time tomorrow.
The monsters come out for Martians and really serious problems.
Reoccupy China !
This never would have happened with DJT in office.The people of Japan,South Korea and others in the region had better hope that DJT wins in Nov...otherwise they’ll have 4 more years of visits from the People’s Liberation Air Force.
Good one!

“ Throughout WWII, Nationalist China never flew over Japan?”
Not really analogous, but even with that, very doubtful.
