The Ministry of National Defense of China and Russia also announced last night (22nd) that the Air Force of the two countries organized a second joint air strategic cruise in the Asia -Pacific region that day.
According to the news released by the official website of the Ministry of National Defense, China sent four-6K aircraft to jointly conduct a joint patrol in the Japanese Sea and Donghai related airspace organizations with two Tu-95 aircraft.During the flight, the aircraft aircraft of the two countries strictly complied with the relevant provisions of international law and did not enter other countries.
The Ministry of National Defense pointed out that China -Russia's joint air strategic cruise aims to further develop a comprehensive strategic collaboration partnership between China and Russia, enhance the strategic collaboration level and joint action capabilities of the two armies, and jointly maintain global strategic stability.The operation is the annual cooperation plan of the China -Russia Army, which is not targeted at third parties. "
The China-Russia Air Force organized the first time in the northeast Asia region on July 23 last year to jointly carry out the aircraft strategic cruise. At that time, China sent two H-6K aircraft to mix the two Tu-95 aircraft with the Russian side.The relevant airspace of the sea and Donghai organized a joint cruise according to the established routes.
The Chinese Official Media Blum Times quoted anonymous analysts that the two crues were selected in the direction of the Japanese Sea and the East China Sea, indicating that China and Russia have continuous and common concerns and concerns about the strategic stability of this direction.?
Analysts said that for Russia, strategic cruise in the Gonghai is commonplace.However, with the increase in security risks facing China and the improvement of the Chinese Air Force's related capabilities, it is expected that the Chinese Air Force's long -range strategic cruise will gradually increase.
Last year, China -Russia's first combination of air strategic cruise has attracted many attention. South Korea condemned Russian aircraft to break into South Korea's lead and Russia denied it. South Korea and Japan intercepted the Sino -Russian fighter aircraft and warned that the other party "has entered their territory".Essence
However, the situation was slightly different. According to the Yonhap News Agency, the South Korean military said that the Chinese and Russian military aircraft were "flying into the South Korean defense zone" on the 22nd, but at the same time, it was pointed out that the Chinese side had informed the South Korean side in advance, and the military aircraft did not infringe South Korea.
The air force expert Fu Qianxian believes that this detail shows that the preparations for the China -Russia exercises are more thorough and mature.He believes that China -Russia Airlines strategic cruise is trained accordingly in the international sea and air areas. Other countries have no right to say three or four. "In the past, it is rare for long -range strategic bombers to cruise. In the future, there will be more than all parties."
