“The Navy told us that a Chinese satellite turned and headed on a different route to photograph that plane.”
I can only assume that China publish their targeting on some Twitter account? What ludicrous statement.

- greggsy 4y agoAre you implying that they disclosed (to a movie director) that the USA have a foothold within China’s IMINT apparatus? It’s trivial to observe flyover changes, but it’s ludicrous to suggest that this action alone meant they were looking for a specific aircraft.
