The Chinese military is severely lacking in accountability and professionalism. The pilots think this kind of flying projects skill, when really it shows their incompetence.
This is completely not true. It does not show incompetence whatsoever. Quite the opposite actually. Dangerous, reckless, unprofessional, yes. But at those speeds, it takes skill to get that close, and not be pulled into the other plane and crash, when the other plane is not actively participating in the stunt. That's why the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, and every other stunt team in the world practice for 100's of hours on this. It is not easy to do in any case. Bernoulli's principle makes it get more difficult the faster you are moving. That is why a chinese pilot crashed into an E3 years ago, when he tried to pull the same crap.
A professional would recognize the slim margin for error and numerous things that could go wrong and just not do this type of crazy stunt at all
You're saying this as if the pilot was just hotdogging and was totally ignorant of the risks. That's pretty unlikely.
The Chinese government has been pretty clear about what they think of "freedom of navigation exercises". If Chinese bombers were flying around the coast of the US you can be damn sure we'd be scrambling fighters to crawl up their butts too.
Those pilots got orders and carried them out successfully. You may disagree with the orders but it's silly to accuse the pilot of lack of professionalism.
As I said it's unprofessional, but to do it and not crash does take skill. Doesn't mean it wasn't stupid as it is.
