Why are Japanese photographers never absent?

On February 18, the website of Japan's Unified Staff Supervision Department issued a notice, saying that on that day, five military aircraft from China flew into the Sea of Japan via Ma Haixia, and fighter planes of Japan Air Self-Defense Force took off in an emergency to accompany our aircraft. Different from the previous F- 15J fighter, it may be that the escort plane of F-1 1 failed to capture a clear picture of F-1 1, so it can only be fooled by the statement of "presumed fighter". This time, because the Su -30MKK fighter plane carrying out the escort mission did not have a fierce battle with the Japanese plane, in the communique of the curtain call, it was particularly emphasized that this was the first time that China fighter plane entered the Sea of Japan through the camera.

According to the route map of China's military aircraft, the flight actions of "circling Taiwan counterclockwise" and "entering the Sea of Japan" reported by domestic media yesterday were almost simultaneous. 1 yun -8 electronic reconnaissance plane participates in the operation around Taiwan. At the same time, two H -6K bombers, two Su -30MKK fighters and one Tu-154MD electronic reconnaissance plane entered the Sea of Japan through Ma Haixia, among which Su -30 returned immediately after crossing Ma Haixia, H -6K and Tu -65438.

It is unprecedented for China Air Force to fly around Taiwan Province Island and enter the Sea of Japan at the same time. Most of the flights are carried out by electronic reconnaissance planes, which shows that China Air Force is strengthening the electronic intelligence collection of potential opponents around it. In the case of military conflict, the information collected at ordinary times will be of great significance.

Various types of electronic reconnaissance planes such as RC- 135 of the United States conduct reconnaissance activities in the offshore of China all the year round. Recently, with the tension in North Korea, such flights have become more frequent.
