FTA: "A new report claims that Chinese bombers simulated an attack on the USS Theodore Roosevelt during its maneuvers in the South China Sea.
The carrier and its support group entered the disputed region last Saturday, which was the same day China flew eight H-6K bombers, four J-16 fighter jets, and one Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft near Taiwan, according to Business Insider.
The Financial Times, quoting what it said was “one person familiar with the incident” who it did not name, said that “Pilots of H-6 bombers could be heard in cockpit conversations confirming orders for the simulated targeting and release of anti-ship missiles against the carrier.”
