Are you implying something?
For your information for all it's worth, I wrote my post off memory from a news clip I read over a week ago.
As for you question here are the paragraphs that you questioned.
スクランブルをかけた空自機は中国機の周囲を大きく回り込み、後方から真横につけるポジショニングを試みた。中国機パイロットの顔が見える位置から信号射撃などを行い、退去を呼びかけるためだ。
The JASDF spot the PLAAF plane and scrambled to intercept the incoming plane.
Normally PLAAF would head back at XX°north longitude but this was not the case so the JASDF pilot
tried to
line up with the incoming PLAAF fighter maneuvering his plane in a large circle so not to be taken as an aggressive move and
once lined up and able to make visual contact with the PLAAF pilot fire tracers but this did not happen since as the JASDF pilot was maneuvering his fighter the PLAAF pilot turned his fighter directly towards the JASDF fighter and placed his fighter into attack position.
The JASDF pilot not wanting to aggravate the situation launched flares and punched out from the direct location to avoid possible conflict.
The retired general goes on further stating that this kind of incident happened several time in June this year.
So no I did not leave out anything that actually happened only some parts that the JASDF pilot was intending to do subscribed within manual.
