Korea strongly protests!

According to Yonhap News Agency, nine military aircraft from Russia and China entered South Korea's Air Defense Identification Zone on December 9. On the morning of December 10, the South Korean Ministry of Defense submitted a strong protest to China and Russia through diplomatic channels.

This operation was the 10th joint aerial strategic patrol conducted by China and Russia in the East China Sea and western Pacific airspace according to the annual cooperation plan, which fully complies with international law standards.

It should be clearly stated that the air defense identification zone is not the airspace of a country. The normal training and exercises of Chinese and Russian military aircraft in the overlapping area of the air defense identification zones of China and South Korea do not involve any legal dispute. Previously, South Korea has notified at least five times about similar training exercises. However, this time it suddenly raised an alarmist protest, which is really overreacting. South Korea's excessive reaction lacks legal basis. If it deliberately exaggerates normal military cooperation actions, it may instead escalate regional tensions.
