Australian Minister of Defense Richard Marles said Sunday that the Chinese J-16 aircraft 'cut across the nose' of the P-8 aircraft 'at very close distance.'
Australia's department of defense said Sunday that a Chinese fighter jet intercepted one of its surveillance aircrafts in the area of the South China Sea last month, days after Canada made a similar claim.
"The intercept resulted in a dangerous manoeuvre which posed a safety threat to the P-8 aircraft and its crew," the department stated, according to the news outlet.
