Foreign media reported today: "The Japanese Ministry of Defense expressed 'serious concerns' about the joint flight of Chinese and Russian aircraft, stating that the joint flight 'was an explicitly planned demonstration against Japan, and is a significant security concern.' The Japan Air Self-Defense Force fighter jets were scrambled urgently to respond. The Chinese and Russian aircraft did not enter Japanese airspace."

This operation marks the 10th joint aerial strategic patrol between China and Russia, which was carried out in accordance with the annual cooperation plan, and is a normal military cooperation between the two countries, legal and compliant, and not a sudden action. Japan's deliberate hype is clearly driven by ulterior motives. Previously, Japan hyped up the "Chinese aircraft radar illumination" incident, which was refuted by China. Now it is making noise about the normal drills of China and Russia, repeatedly and deliberately hyping up, which essentially exposes its inner panic and anxiety, and is also an excuse for its own military expansion and the creation of a "security threat".
