Fun times eh, might have to ask for some bunker designs and tips from Coligny.

Please cut the sensationalist crap, nowhere in the linked articles does it say "will", nobody is going to war right now.

Also, what's with this "Business Insider" site, which is getting quoted a lot recently? It looks like an aggregator site which rewrites other people's articles with an added does of sensationalism to get hits.

A more accurate title for this thread would be "Japanese Government considering use of tracer rounds to warn Chinese planes", which is concerning but not quite as dramatic.

尖閣国有化以降　中国軍機、相次ぎ領空接近　空自の警告射撃検討

昨年９月の沖縄県・尖閣諸島の国有化以降、中国の軍用機が東シナ海上空で日本領空への接近飛行を繰り返していることが８日、分かった。中国機は日本領空の外側に設けられた防空識別圏をたびたび突破、その都度、航空自衛隊の戦闘機が緊急発進（スクランブル）し対処しているが、防衛省は事実関係を発表していない。尖閣周辺での相次ぐ挑発を受け、政府は警告射撃など自衛隊の対抗措置を強化する検討に入った。

Key word is "検討", which is J-gov speak for "we are dithering".

Sensationalist, irresponsible, and just plain wrong.

Not that FG.com has much in the way of journalistic credibility to begin with, but this kind of bullshit is a great way to trash it completely. Nice sabotage job.

Yea business insider is really getting on my nerve too... they really sound like some sort of astroturfing shitlist... written by a retard who just discovered the wiki for chinese arsenal. As reliable as the onion... but the goal of the Onion is known... (just dick around).... while business insider is a bit more vague in their real goal...

Aircraft buzzing each others over disputed airspace is nothing new... It didn't start any war with the Soviet...and today... the first one to have a plane shot/damaged will have an excuse to run for the UN to ask for punition against the peeps responsible...

That whole island dispute can be won litterally overnight by the Chinese from a military standpoint... They just need to airdrop battletanks until every square centimeter of the rocks are full and it's game over... but they need to work on the diplomatic/political victory too... The japs being dumb as fuck on the matter... it might not be too difficulteither...

Sorry, still a rookie here, I came across the article and never heard anything about it on local japanese news so I figured "meh why not" might be news to FG, it was news to me. Didn't mean to waste anyone's time or patience. You all have a great day.
