Russian and Chinese strategic bombers conducted joint patrols over the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, and the western Pacific Ocean, accompanied by fighter jets from unidentified states. The air group of Tupolev Tu-95 and Chinese Xian H-6K strategic bombers were accompanied by a group of Sukhoi Su-30M, Su-35S, and Shenyang J-11 fighters. The deepening partnership between China and Russia is being watched by the West with some anxiety.
