Germany’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused, on Tuesday, the Chinese army of pointing out a laser device for a German Air Force fighter during a Red Sea operation.
In a publication in Xthe official profile of German diplomacy points out that the aircraft was at the service of the European Union in Operation Aspides, which aims to combat the Houthis, an Yemen terrorist group.
China’s ambassador to Berlin, Deng Hongbo, was summoned to explain what happened.
“The danger to the German crew and the interruption of the mission is completely unacceptable,” says the German diplomatic agency.
The formal call of an ambassador is considered by experts a serious diplomatic measure.
According to German news agency DPA, the fact occurred earlier this month, and the laser pointed out from a Chinese war ship. The gesture is considered a threatening among military.
In addition, the German newspaper Bild He pointed out that this was not the first attack of its type by China. The Asian country would have already used western aircraft lasers to prevent the vision of pilots and interfere with the electronic system of fighters on other occasions.
