165438+1On October 30th, China's "Ministry of National Defense Released" WeChat WeChat official account announced that according to the annual military cooperation plan of the Chinese and Russian armed forces, the air forces of the two countries organized and carried out routine joint air strategic cruises over the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea and the Western Pacific on June 30th.

According to reports from Russia today, the Russian Ministry of Defence said that an air formation composed of Russian Tu -95MS strategic bomber and China H -6K bomber conducted a joint air cruise, and Russian Su -30SM and Su -35S fighters escorted the formation. Russian strategic bombers flew in the air for eight hours, "accompanied by foreign fighters at some stages of the route."

During the mission, Russian bombers landed at China airport, while Chinese bombers landed in Russia. According to the Global Times, this is the first time that military aircraft of the two countries have landed at each other's airports to carry out a joint cruise mission.

The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that Russian and China warplanes did not violate foreign airspace.

According to Reuters, Tu -95 and Tu-160, which are called "bears" by NATO, are the backbone of Russian long-range air strikes. They were designed to drop nuclear bombs on the United States during the Cold War.

The Sino-Russian joint cruise lasted for 8 hours, and the Japanese and Korean armed forces dispatched several military aircraft to accompany the flight for emergency interception.

Recently, the Chinese and Russian armed forces organized air strategic joint cruises, and the Russian Air Forces H -6K, J-16 and Yun -20 participated in the joint cruises.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that the Chinese and Russian bomber formations cruised over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea for about eight hours, and the Russian Air Force Su -30SM and Su -35S fighters escorted them.

During the Sino-Russian joint air strategic cruise, both fighters landed at the other airport, which reflected the joint training level of the two armies. Some experts said that the further deepening of the relations between the Chinese and Russian armed forces has formed a broader consensus in the field of cooperation.

In fact, this is the annual military cooperation plan between the Chinese and Russian armed forces, but in the eyes of some people, it has changed.

South Korea hyped its so-called "air defense identification zone", saying that Chinese and Russian military aircraft flew into its "identification zone". What is even more outrageous is that the Korean army also made a so-called "warning" through military telephones.

Zhao Ceng, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, clearly pointed out that the air defense identification zone is not airspace, and all countries enjoy freedom of overflight according to international law.

Japan followed closely, claiming that two China H -6k and several Russian military planes appeared in the Sea of Japan at the same time, and they were heading for the mainland.

The Japanese Self-Defense Force, which has been playing the role of "royal photographer" of the China Air Force, really "broke my heart".

Japan and South Korea, which had deep grievances, had an unusual "tacit understanding" this time. The Japanese and South Korean armed forces also dispatched F- 15J, F- 15K and other military aircraft to intercept the exercise formation, but all failed.

Some experts have analyzed that the choice of "bright swords" by the Chinese and Russian armed forces at this time is also a great deterrent to military alliances such as the United States, Japan and South Korea, which have frequently provoked in the Indo-Pacific region in recent years.

Indeed, who is the "threat" in the Asia-Pacific region? I believe everyone has their own judgment. The so-called "free navigation" in the United States has made many countries very tired, while Japan and South Korea are waving flags and shouting, and they have to "cheer" themselves from time to time.

In fact, the joint patrol of the Chinese and Russian armed forces has gradually become the norm. Since 20 19, China and Russia have been conducting joint air cruises, which is the fifth time.

In addition to the Sino-Russian Good-Neighborly Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, which is of great concern to everyone at present, Sino-Russian cooperation in the military field has long been "in-depth".

In addition to 20 19, China and Russia organized and implemented the first joint air strategic cruise, and in 2020, the Chinese and Russian air forces organized and implemented the second joint air strategic cruise in the Asia-Pacific region.

From this point of view, Japan and South Korea's rhetoric is inevitably a bit untenable, and they should think about their actions before throwing dirty water.

Of course, from another point of view, since the Biden administration came to power, China and Russia have also been under the same pressure from the outside world for their constantly advancing allies or alliance diplomatic systems. Under the pressure of the United States, China and Russia are indeed getting closer and closer.

Looking back on May this year, the Chinese and Russian air forces also held a joint air strategic cruise. At that time, some media speculated that this action was related to the situation in Ukraine.

As the saying goes, "the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind will not stop." Both China and Russia want to be in an environment of peaceful development, but unfortunately, there are always some big countries with ulterior motives.

China and Russia should also send a signal to the outside world: as the two most responsible big countries in the world, it is necessary for China and Russia to jointly warn those stupid countries not to act rashly, otherwise they will only be hit head-on.
