A pilot of airline Virgin Australia heard Chinese warships in the Tasmanzee announced through an emergency radio channel last Friday that they were shooting with sharp shooting. The pilot reported the situation to the Australian air traffic control, which turned out not to be aware of the military exercise. Eventually 49 flights to and from Australia and New Zealand were diverted because of the incident.
