Mr Watson said: “This is rare footage of a US air navy flying a mission over the South China Sea last week.
“This aircraft bristles with high power scopes to conduct surveillance.”
A US naval officer explained: “We are serving as those eyes and ears patrolling ahead of the force, closely monitoring our adversaries.”

The US naval officer replied: “I am a United States military aircraft conducting lawful military operations in an international airspace.”
Mr Watson continued: “I would witness similar challenges two years ago on a different US navy flight over this increasingly tense region.
