▲ US B-1B strategic bomber
It was revealed that two US B-1B strategic bombers conducted an emergency exit in the South China Sea today (23).
19 military aircraft, including Chinese H-6 (4) and Russian Tu-95 (2) bombers, entered the Korean Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ / Kadiz) near Ieodo and Dokdo yesterday. It is seen as a “fighting” aspect of the bomber mobilization between China and Russia.
According to the military and civil aircraft tracking site ‘Golf9’ (Golf9), two B-1B bombers and a KC-135R tanker aircraft took off today from the US Air Force Base in Guam Anderson Pacific and flew to the South China Sea via the sea between the Philippines and Taiwan. .
The B-1B’s flights to the South China Sea and the East China Sea have taken place several times this year.
Notably, however, the B-1B was resolved a day after China and Russia conducted high-intensity combined training using airborne bombers over the Korean peninsula.
Some of the military analyze that the entry of a group of Sino-Russian military planes in Cádiz is a strong protest against the recent and frequent joint exercises between the United States and Japan.
A military source said: “It appears that there is also the nature of the US response to the violent demonstrations on the Korean peninsula yesterday, so we are watching the military trends of neighboring countries.”
Yesterday, four Chinese H-6s entered Cádiz from the west of Ieodo, and two of them left Cádiz through the east of Ulleungdo.
Fifteen units, including the Russian Tu-95s, also entered from the north of Cádiz in the East Sea, with two of them leaving Cádiz on the east side of Dokdo, then re-entering and departing northeast of Dokdo.
Before entering Cádiz, China notified it as normal training through the Korea-China hotline, but Russia did not notify us in advance.
Korea and Russia do not have a mutual direct network to exchange flight information.
In response, the Air Force responded by urgently launching more than 20 fighters, including F-15K, KF-16 and FA-50, and it was confirmed that fighters from the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force were also dispatched.
