South Korean officials have announced they were forced to scramble fighter jets after a joint Russian and Chinese air patrol entered its air defense zone.
Moreover, this isn't the first time Korean airplanes had to be scrambled in response to such an action. During China and Russia's joint aerial patrol last November, South Korea had to respond by scrambling fighter jets as Chinese H-6K bombers, Russian TU-95 bombers, and SU-35 fighter jets entered its Air Defense Identification Zone .China-Russia patrols
China and Russia have been conducting joint aerial patrols for a while now, even before Russia's intervention in Ukraine and the formation of the "no-limits" partnership between Beijing and Moscow. This partnership has been nurtured due to a shared sense of perceived threat from the United States and other military alliances, contributing to strengthening their bilateral ties.
During the May 2022 patrols, warplanes from China and Russia came close to Japan's airspace while Tokyo was hosting a Quad summit with the leaders of the United States, India, and Australia. Even though China clarified that the flights were not meant to target third parties, Japan was still alarmed by the situation.
The United States and its allies have conducted more military drills in the region in response to China's growing military assertiveness. Recently, the coast guards of the United States, Japan, and the Philippines held their initial trilateral naval exercise in the South China Sea. On Monday, the White House expressed concern over recent incidents involving U.S. and Chinese military forces in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. The increasing aggressiveness of Beijing's military poses a risk of potential accidents that harm individuals.
