US Strategic Nuclear Bombers Enter the East China Sea, South Korean Media Claims: "Making China Tremble with Fear"
Recently, the US, Japan and South Korea held a joint military exercise near Jeju Island in the East China Sea. The US deployed B52 strategic bombers, which is the first time this bomber has appeared near China's doorstep after a year. However, the exercise claims its target is North Korea, aiming to conduct a "preemptive strike" against North Korea's nuclear arsenal. Nevertheless, some South Korean media believe that this exercise can deter China, claiming that the entry of the US B52 strategic nuclear bomber into the East China Sea makes China "tremble with fear."
Oriental Commentary: As a strategic bomber, the B52 excels in range and bomb capacity, but other performance aspects are not particularly strong. In particular, this bomber cannot fly at supersonic speeds and lacks stealth capabilities. When facing the air defense identification network built by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, it is completely unable to penetrate, and its survivability is very worrying. Earlier, the J-11 could intercept the B52 closely, let alone now when the Chinese People's Liberation Army has a series of more advanced aircraft and radar systems. Therefore, the actual threat posed by this bomber to China is not significant. The absurd propaganda from South Korean media that "makes China tremble with fear" is similar to India's "Bharat Win Learning," representing an inexplicable confidence.
