Wars and rumors of war will continue until Jesus returns. We know this.
A few days ago Biden said that if China invaded Taiwan that America would respond with our military. China took those Biden words as an open threat.
So when Biden went to Tokyo a few days later to meet the leaders of Australia, India and Japan, China and Russia decided to fly some nuclear bombers over the area to make sure that Biden and his friends remembered who has some nukes in their arsenal.
Japan and South Korea scrambled its fighters to intercept a “provocative” joint exercise by four Chinese and two Russian strategic bombers in the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea on 24 May.
The exercise appears to be a show of force by Beijing and Moscow pointed at the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (the Quad), which was taking place in Tokyo on that same day. The meeting was attended by the leaders of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States.
Two Chinese Xian H-6 bombers of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) were detected flying from the East China Sea to the Sea of the Japan in the morning. The H-6s were joined by two Tupolov Tu-95 strategic bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) in the sea of Japan.
The four bombers proceeded on a southwestern course. In the afternoon, two new PLA H-6s replaced the earlier two H-6s in the formation. The aircraft then flew through the Miyako Strait between Okinawa and Miyakojima islands, into the Western Pacific.
Photographs of the aircraft shared by the Japanese Ministry of Defense (MoD) show that the Chinese aircraft appear to be the H-6K variant of the bomber aircraft while the Russian aircraft are Tu-95MSs. Both Chinese and Russian aircraft returned to the East China Sea on the same flight path.
Speaking at a press conference later in the day, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi noted that this is the fourth such long-distance joint flight by Chinese and Russian bombers around Japan since July 2019. It is also the first such flight since November 2021, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
