    From what I read (and saw on video), the issue is that the Chinese jet got within 10 meters of the plane being intercepted… Which is reckless as hell.

      Isn’t that further than where planes sit for air-to-air refueling?

      For reference, the Blue Angels (because they’re the only ones who post this) fly about half a meter apart.
