I remember when my friend's wife (Chinese) tried to explain to me how the P-3 caused that collision.  :)

Somehow I dont think her angle was that the Chinese pilot was unskilled enough to avoid a lumbering prop plane?  :)

Geez, that little bit of humor, the sign is only about 2 years old.  Welcome to last year.  :)

The same year, several months later a Russian tanker crew got arrested in Canada for ramming a US fishing ship that was maybe 100 times smaller. They said Russians intentionally sunk it...

Depends on who is on "blue" side...

That Chinese pilot was a hero. I think he knew what is going to happen and rammed the enemy to make it leave Chinese airspace.

OTOH the US crew behaved like cowards. Landing a top-secret aircraft loaded with scrembling and recon equipment at the Chinese airbase - I can't understand that. They were military, weren't they?...

How did you come up with this ridiculous analogy?

So your saying the much smaller and slower boat equates to an agile supersonic fighter?

Or the much larger and faster tanker equates to a lumbering surveillance plane?

Boroduh the U.S. plane was in International airspace at the time of the ramming Dipchit.  Amazing that these Ruskies still believe the 'ol communist drivel....:rolleyes:

Maybe I've overestimated Russian technology, but I'm pretty sure those fighter jets come equipped with missiles and/or guns.  Generally if you desire to destroy an enemy, it's preferable to just shoot him down instead of bravely sacrificing oneself at the cost of years of training and one aircraft.

Even you're not stupid enough to believe this one, Boroda.  I'll chalk it up to a troll.

boroda, a couple of corrections-

1. I don't have a link to the us/china incident but if I remember correctly (And I'm fairly sure I do) the incident happened over international waters not Chinese air space.  if it had been over Chinese airspace they would have used guns to bring the plane down.

2. I read the whole story in the link. And I basing this solely on the info you provided

 nowhere does it say that anybody thought the ship was rammed intentionally.  it says that the ship was suspected in a fatal collision, and excess crew members where removed from the ship so they would not interfere in the investigation, (or possibly destroy evidence or so the ship couldn't try to leave).    No one was arrested until they tried to leave the country.

all these are perfectly reasonable actions when a vehicle is suspected in a fatal collision. Impounding a vehicle so it can be examined is standard in fatal accidents, even when the driver is not suspected to be at fault.  securing evidence is reasonable and necessary for carrying out an investigation. and it's also reasonable to arrest someone for trying to leave the country while they are being investigated.

one more thing, it said the captain was being charged with manslaughter, so they apparently didn't think it was intentional. manslaughter is causing someone’s death through carelessness or neglect. murder is the charge when they think you did it on purpose.
