Marles will be in a tizzy, page-25

Any half witted pilot would have been well aware that realeasing chaff in front of the aircraft posed a very high risk to the Australian jet, was it a deliberate act to bring down the jet, looks that way.
The Chinese pilot would have had no doubt the odds of chaff being ingested by the jets engines was probable and you dont have to be an aviator to understand that jet engines do not react well to ingesting foreign objects, in fact it usually almost ends in a catastrophic failure of the engine.
It very much seems a deliberate act to bring the jet down.
This act should garnish a very aggressive response from the Australian government, will they, well we will see what this government is made of!
