挑戰新聞軍事精華版--解放軍作戰專家稱：2000年美中南海對峙，「F-14」戰機曾逼「轟-6」迫降

U.S. F-14 Tomcats intercepted chinese H6 bmber in south china sea in 2000. 美軍飛彈驅逐艦勞倫斯號（USS William P. Lawrence）10日駛入永暑礁12海浬範圍內海域，中國也隨即派遣3架戰機及3艘軍艦予以驅離警告。在外界看似張力十足的兩國對峙，但《鳳凰軍事》指出，美軍此次在南海針對中國的軍事行動，相較過去呈收縮狀態。 本世紀初中美兩軍南海武裝對峙，最廣為人知的就是中美撞機事件。一架美國海軍EP-3型偵察機於2001年4月1日在南中國海執行偵查任務，解放軍派出2架殲-8II戰鬥機進行監視和攔截，其中一架編號81192戰機，在海南島東南70海里的中國專屬經濟區上空與美機發生碰撞，飛行員王偉跳傘下落不明，後被確認犧牲。 其實在2000年後，中美還有一次驚心動魄的海上較量。大陸海軍作戰專家王雲飛描述，當時美航母編隊來南海，解放軍向美艦隊方向派出一架轟-6轟炸機；而美艦立即起飛兩架F-14殲擊機，將轟-6夾在中間。隨後三機就這樣進入西沙上空，意味著兩架美軍戰鬥機當時是帶彈侵入中國領空，並在中國西沙機場企圖讓中國軍機迫降。(東森新聞 2016年05月12日 http://www.ettoday.net/news/20160512/696373.htm ) USS John C.
