U.S. military authorities dispatched the first of six top-tech submarine-hunting jets to its Okinawa post near the disputed East China Sea, a move sure to ratchet up tensions among China and the United States.
The Navy plans to send in a total of six P-8 Poseidon patrol craft, aimed at bolstering the United States’ ability to root out submarines in the area, Reuters reported. The deployment was planned months ago, but nonetheless comes as China declared an air defense zone above islands that it’s fighting Japan to control.

Was this the type of aircraft that was forced down during the early Bush years? If so, I wonder if they were able to glean any intel and then design systems to deal with the P8.

Maybe this time we’ll land a P-8 Poseidon at the Shanghai airport?
At least the crew can do some sightseeing this time after turning over our Top Secret spy plane to the Communists.

Was this the type of aircraft that was forced down during the early Bush years? No. The plane forced down during the Bush years was a P-3 Orion, based on the turboprop Electra airframe.
The P-8 Poseidons are jet-powered, based on the Boeing 737 airframe.
