Teen Chinese Caught Illegally Filming Air Force Fighter Jet Says "Father is Public Security Officer"

The father of a Chinese national who illegally photographed fighter jets near the Air Force 10th Fighter Wing has been identified as a public security officer.

According to investigative authorities on the 8th, during the investigation of a Chinese teenager, Mr. A, on charges of violating the Military Bases and Military Facilities Protection Act, a statement was obtained that "his father's occupation is public security."

According to the guidance signals, the F-5E/F is heading toward the runway.

Earlier, Mr. A, along with another Chinese national, Mr. B, is suspected of illegally photographing fighter jets taking off and landing near the Suwon Air Force Base, where the Air Force 10th Fighter Wing is stationed, on the afternoon of the 21st of last month using a camera and a mobile phone. Both Mr. A and Mr. B are Chinese high school students and are reported to have entered the country on tourist visas three days prior to the incident.

Investigative authorities, considering that Mr. A and others are minors, have reportedly informed that the investigation is ongoing with arrangements made for communication with their parents.

Meanwhile, authorities are examining whether Mr. A and others committed similar offenses at other military facilities besides the Suwon Air Force Base after their entry. There is currently a possibility that they also illegally photographed at the Pyeongtaek Osan Air Base in addition to the Suwon base.

This case is being investigated by the Security Investigation Division of the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency, the National Intelligence Service, and the Defense Counterintelligence Command. A military official stated, "We have received a request for cooperative investigation from the police and are reviewing it," adding, "There is currently no information we can confirm."
