So, the above link leads to a Hong Kong report quoting a Taiwanese military source, so my B.S. meter is jumping pretty high. Don't take this too seriously. In fact, I wouldn't have posted it here if Pupu didn't post corroborative information on this.
Starting from 3:36:
According to the Taiwanese military, during the U.S.-South Korean - Japanese Naval exercise of 2010, the Chinese Air Force sent a Y-8 to monitor the exercise. The U.S. sent an EP-3 to monitor at a safe distance and two F-15 DJs later joined it in monitoring duty. They got within visual range of the Y-8. The Chinese launched 4 flankers with live munitiions to intercept, and the Japanese later launched two more armed F-2s in this confrontation. The "fighting" grew quite intense, and the Taiwanese radar lost track of the planes when they literally dropped out of sight by flying very low.
Once again, make of this what you well.
