@Deino, a possible new tail number on the aircraft in the background?

Yes, looks like no. 7480x aka from the 129th AB.

Because neither side disclose this. But be assured that there are videos recorded by both sides since they happen well WVR.

That said I find it hilarious that Canucks and Australians consider close intercepts of ELINT unprofessional and make a huge fuss about it but keep these thing really quiet. Perhaps they don’t want the sheeple to find out and panic, like they do with pretty much everything else nowadays.

Yankeesama provides a lot of interesting information on this and other confrontation incidents. Apparently USAF had the upper hand in a lot of earlier encounters but as time went on PLAAF is winning vast majorities of these confrontations. In addition, a lot of PLAAF top brass wanted to see specific J-16 involved in the intercept and ground crew had to work hard to keep it clean and pretty.
