The U.S. Navy has issued a statement protesting that a patrol aircraft deployed in Okinawa was flying laser beams from a Chinese navy destroyer while flying over the Philippine Sea.

According to the U.S. Navy, a navy P8 patrol aircraft at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa was hit by a laser beam from a Chinese navy destroyer while flying over the Philippine Sea west of Guam this month. .

The U.S. Navy has issued a statement protesting that "the actions of the Chinese navy destroyers are dangerous and unprofessional. They also violate an agreement between the United States and China to avoid collisions." .

The laser beam was invisible to the naked eye, and was detected by sensors on P8 patrol aircraft, US Navy officials said could be part of the destroyer's weapons system.

The U.S. Navy deployed P8 patrol aircraft at Kadena Air Base in 2013 to strengthen surveillance of the Chinese navy, which is expanding its maritime operations, and this is followed by a large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that works in conjunction with patrol aircraft. Triton is deployed in Guam, and rice and Chinese competition continues in Asian waters.
