Russia and China carried out a joint 8-hour bomber patrol over the Sea of Japan and East China Sea, sending nuclear-capable TU-95s and Chinese bombers through Japan’s most sensitive air defense zone between Okinawa and Miyako Islands. Japan scrambled jets immediately, calling the move a “grave national security threat.”
Chinese J-16 fighters and Russian Su-30s escorted the bombers, while South Korea reported nine aircraft entering its air defense zone. The escalation follows Japan accusing China of radar-locking a Japanese jet. Meanwhile, Taiwan is on alert as China sails an aircraft carrier through the Miyako Strait.
Is this a new China–Russia military axis, or a dangerous show of force that could spark a regional conflict? Full analysis of Japan’s response, US silence, and the shifting balance of power in East Asia.
