Regarding the incident of an ROK naval vessel directing its fire-control radar at an MSDF patrol aircraft
Something new... I believe this is Japan's first use of social media to try and influence international opinion to be on its side.
BTW, 971 might not have replied on 121.5 MHz because she might not have been guarding on that frequency as she was not operating aircraft. And while the P-1 was well clear of 971... flying so near a warship is still poor manners. Observing minimum safety distances doesn't necessarily mean it is diplomatically sound.
And when the next Chinese aircraft flies this close to a JMSDF ship next time... very hard for Japan to complain with this video plain out in the open for everyone to see.
