It was revealed that two US B-1B strategic bombers made an emergency exit in the South China Sea on the 23rd.
19 military aircraft, such as the Chinese H-6 (4) and Russian Tu-95 (2) bombers, entered the Korean Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ / Kadiz) near Ieodo and Dokdo the day before. It is seen as a “fighting fight” that mobilizes bombers between China and Russia.
According to the military and civil aircraft tracking site ‘Golf9’ (Golf9), two B-1B bombers and a KC-135R tanker plane took off from the US Air Force Base in Guam, the Pacific Ocean, and they flew into the South China Sea via the sea between the Philippines and Taiwan. .

Some of the military analyze that the entry of a group of Sino-Russian military planes in Cádiz has a great characteristic of armed demonstration in response to the recent and frequent joint exercises between the United States and Japan.
A military source said: “It seems that there is also the nature of the US countermeasures to the violent demonstrations on the Korean peninsula yesterday, so we are observing the military trends of neighboring countries.”
The day before, four Chinese H-6s entered Cádiz from the west of Ieodo, and two of them passed through the eastern part of Ulleungdo and left Cádiz. Fifteen units, including the Russian Tu-95s, also entered from the north of Cádiz in the East Sea, and two of them left Cádiz on the east side of Dokdo, then re-entered and escaped 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 mutually establish direct communication networks for the exchange of flight information.
In response, the Air Force responded by urgently launching about 20 fighters, including F-15K, KF-16, and FA-50. It was confirmed that fighters from the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force were also dispatched.
