Florence de Changy: US / AWACS intercept over the South China Sea

De Changy’s telling is a US-military intercept, not a Chinese or Russian capture. It uses the Malaysian–Vietnamese handover gap and alleged undeclared cargo. The Réunion flaperon, Mauritius flap and Tanzania flap are against a South China Sea wreck. File it as a published intercept hypothesis that shares the “US military involved” pile and loses on geography if the debris tables stand.
