Chinese Navy aircraft carrier group escorts bombers to approach the airspace east of Taiwan.

The image from CCTV on August 3 shows a formation of Chinese Navy carrier-based fighter jets, the J-15T, escorting a fleet of long-range bombers, the H-6K, which seems to be approaching Taiwan Province and is in the eastern airspace of Taiwan Province. If using the H-6J or H-6N long-range bombers, having the J-16 escort them to the first island chain, refueling once with the Y-20, and then being escorted by the J-15T to the far sea can go further. For long-range aerial escort, it still relies on carrier-based aircraft. Carrier-based fighters and land-based fighters take turns to provide a safe passage for the H-6K and H-6N long-range bombers.
