Chinese Jets Target Japanese Aircraft Near Okinawa Amid Rising Regional Tensions Aviation News – Chinese fighter jets locked their radar onto Japanese military aircraft near the Okinawa Islands on Saturday, prompting Tokyo to warn of “dangerous incidents” as diplomatic friction intensifies. Japan reported that multiple Chinese jets illuminated Japanese planes with fire-control radar, a move considered highly provocative because it can precede missile targeting. The incident comes shortly after Japan cautioned Beijing about potential military actions toward Taiwan, further straining already fragile relations.
