China fighter jet intercepts Australian plane - Canberra
Australia has accused The Pilot of a Chinese Fighter jet of carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre near one of its aircraft over The South China Sea.
It says the Chinese aircraft released flares and cut in front of the Australian surveillance plane.
The Chinese jet then released " chaff" - an anti-radar device which includes small pieces of aluminium which entered the Australian plane's engine.
Beijing claims most of the region as its own territory.
The Royal Australian Air Force P-8 maritime Surveillance Aircraft was intercepted on 26 May by a Chinese J-16 Fighter Aircraft , during what was a routine maritime surveillance activity, Australian Prime Minister , Anthony Albanese said.
" The intercept resulted in a dangerous manoeuvre which did pose a safety threat to the P-8 aircraft and its crew, " He Said .
Defence Minister Richard Marles said the Chinese jet flew very close in front of the RAAF aircraft and released a " bundle of chaff" containing the small pieces of aluminium that were ingested into the Australian aircraft's engine.
" Quite obviously this is very dangerous, " Mr Marles told ABC television.
In a statement, Australia 's defence ministry said it had " for decades undertaken maritime surveillance activities in the region" and " does so in accordance with International Law , exercising The Right to freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters and airspace".
Beijing has not commented on The Incident . China has been building up military infrastructure there in recent years.
But the US, neighbouring countries and others, including Australia , dispute its claim.
In February, Australia accused a Chinese navy ship of shining a military grade laser towards one of its warplanes over the Arafura Sea off northern Australia .
