In order to search and rescue North Korean ships, South Korea and Japan used six languages to tear apart their allies, but the United States remained silent
CCTV News:The "radar exposure" in Korea and Japan continued to ferment, and the two sides made their own videos public to set the record straight. The people of the two countries were also involved in the online debate, which became more and more fierce.
From the end of 2018 to the present, Korea and Japan have been arguing over the "radar incident" and have released their own "radar incident" videos.
On December 28th, the Japanese side released a video first, accusing the South Korean navy destroyer of using "fire control radar" to aim at Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s P-1 patrol aircraft that day, so it protested to the South Korean side that "this is an extremely dangerous act".
On January 4th, South Korea also released a video, saying that the destroyer "Guangkai Tudawang" of South Korea used detection radar instead of fire control radar when searching and rescuing North Korean ships on the 20th of last month. On the contrary, the Japanese plane flew from a low altitude of 150 meters to the airspace only 500 meters away from the Korean ship, so that the officers and men on board the Korean army felt huge noise and strong vibration.
In response to the video released by the South Korean Ministry of National Defense, the Japanese side still adheres to its original position.
In response, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense responded that it will continue to release videos in six languages: China, Japan, France, Spain, Russia and Afghanistan on the 7th or 8th, refuting Japan’s statement that "Korean ship radar is aimed at Japanese planes".
