South Korea scrambled its jet fighters on Wednesday after Chinese and Russian strategic bombers flew a joint patrol in its air defense zone in the western Pacific without warning early Wednesday morning.
The military said the planes — two Chinese H-6 bombers, four Russian TU-95 bombers and two Russian SU-35 fighters — flew across the KADIZ but did not violate South Korea’s territorial airspace. “Around the same time, what appears to be two Russian aircraft flew south over the Sea of Japan and then turned around,” it said.
The Russian warplanes landed in China and the Chinese bombers flew to an air base in Russia as part of the show of military cooperation between Moscow and Beijing, the ministry said.
