What was the whole story of the plane collision incident of martyr Wang Wei?

On April 6th, an EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane from the United States flew to Hainan Island in the South China Sea of China for electronic reconnaissance.

At 8: 36, the air force of South China Sea Fleet of China Navy found a large American plane approaching for reconnaissance near Sanya, Hainan Island, China. ?

At 8: 45, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Yu and squadron leader Wang Wei of China Naval Air Force Lingshui Base were ordered to take off in an emergency on a J-8II fighter. In order to safeguard the national security interests, the two China pilots will be ordered to routinely track and monitor the reconnaissance activities of US military aircraft. ?

At 8: 52, China Navy pilot Wang Wei found and locked a large plane 20 degrees and 50 kilometers away from the left on the airborne radar, and quickly identified it as an EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane of the US Air Force.

When Wang Wei asked for skydiving, Zhao Yu replied, "Yes". Since then, Zhao Yu and Wang Wei have lost contact.

When Zhao Yu, a middle school student, spiraled down to an altitude of 3,000 meters, he found that Wang Wei's plane had crashed into the sea, with a stable parachute and a life-saving parachute floating in the air. Yu Zhao flew around, confirmed Wang Wei's position, and then returned home. At 9: 23, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Yu landed safely.

In June, 20001,Lockheed Martin, an aircraft manufacturer, sent technicians to the Lingshui Naval Airport in Hainan Island for disassembly. Dismantling began at Lingshui Airport on June 13 and was completed on July 2. It was loaded by the rented An-124 transport plane and arrived at the US military base in Hawaii on July 3rd. ?

The collision process was controversial, and both China and the United States accused each other of violating flight rules, which led to the accident.

On the morning of 200 1 April1,China found an EP-3 reconnaissance plane of the United States flying over the southeast sea area of Hainan Island in China, and China sent two F-8 fighter planes to monitor it. At 9: 07, when the China plane was flying normally at the southeast of Hainan Island 104 km, the US plane suddenly made a sharp turn, and the nose and left wing collided with a China plane (piloted by Wang Wei), resulting in the crash of the China plane. The pilot Wang Wei's whereabouts were unknown after parachuting.

The US plane then entered China's airspace without China's permission and landed at Lingshui Airport at 9: 33. Since the Taiwan Strait crisis, the United States has frequently dispatched military aircraft to collect China's military intelligence in the coastal areas of China, and once sneaked into China's airspace, often confronting China's warplanes. This was the most serious incident, which directly led to the destruction of two planes, the injury of one, and the missing of the China pilot. Moreover, when dealing with this crisis, the United States reported the incident first, without consulting with China as usual, which further complicated the incident.
