Eastern Chinese Sea – Through the deep blue waters of the Eastern Chinese Sea, the Canadian military aircraft explores the huge expanse below. The CP-140 Aurora, a naval patrol aircraft operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force, is designed primarily for hunting for enemy submarines-this crew on the second mission: monitoring of the North Korean vessels involved in illegal trade that violates the sanctions of the United Nations.

“There are definitely boats that look suspicious of others,” says Captain Dominic Kner, a pilot Aurore, for CBS News.

Action in international airspace through international waters, a mission – known as a neon surgery – takes a plane near the Chinese territory, often causing a dramatic response of Beijing, which is repeatedly intercepted by Aurora repeatedly during its mission, while the CBS News team is on board.

The neon surgery is Canadian contribution Coordinated multinational efforts to support the implementation of the UN Security Council of North Korea Safety Council, as UN Member States seek to put pressure on Pyongyang to leave their programs developing weapons for mass destruction.

Neon is a mission of intelligence gathering – they photograph, video and write suspicious vessels in the Eastern Chinese Sea, and then share information with the United Nations Coordination Coordination.

The mission is based on the Kadena Air Base in Japan-Harmony US Air Force Base in the Asian-Pacific Region-known as the “Key Stone of the Pacific Ocean” because of its strategic importance.

During the mission, a Chinese supervisory fighter jet appears and approaches the Canadian Air Force aircraft.

Dissatisfied with the Canadian presence, the Chinese pilot greets Captain Aurora, who responds peacefully: “I am a Canadian aircraft operating in the international airspace, performing the duties of all nations.”

The Chinese have no verbal response, but the Chinese fighter jet overshadowing Aurora for another 30 minutes.

“As long as things remain professional and safe, this mission continues smoothly,” says Brigadier General Jeff Davis, who commands Canadian surgery, says CBS News.

Shortly after, the Chinese fighter plane disappears, but it is only temporarily stopping Chinese actions. A few hours later, another jet appears, the one wearing rockets. All crew members are moving into a position to document the second intercept.

Jet, flying only four wings -length lengths – less than 200 feet – approaches than any Chinese fighter came to Aurora throughout his mission.

China is an economic life in North Korea since the Pyongyang in 2006 imposed international sanctions, after the first nuclear test.

But the sanctions obviously did not have the desired effect. Russia and China once opposed the nuclear development of North Korea but no longer.

China was vital An economic life for the Kim regime In Pyongyang, he raised the economy of North Korea. More recently, Russia has also played a big role, giving the north oil in exchange for ammunition and troops arranged in support Russian war against Ukraine.

The Kim dynasty hoped to force the world to accept North Korea as a nuclear energy. It is currently estimated that it has about 50 nuclear weapons, and on the verge of developing a long-term rocket that is capable of delivering a nuclear fighting head to the US mainland.

At the end of August, while meeting the new President of South Korea, President Trump said he wanted to Another meeting with whom Jong un. They met three times during the first term of Mr. Trump, but they were given no results to the denuclearization of North Korea.

Kim said because he is open to continue the dialogue only if Mr. Trump leaves the “absurd obsession of his government with denuclearization.”

Although these Chinese intercepted intercepts are expected to have an international mission for the implementation of sanctions on the Eastern Chinese Sea, they undoubtedly increase the risks for the Canadian crew.

“It can add some stressors,” Knerr tells CBS News. “Sometimes they try to maneuver, but we try to alleviate the best we can and protect the aircraft.”

After nine hours of intelligence gathering, Aurora finally returns to the base – the mission is completed, in the most ordinary circumstances.
