Russia and China fly joint bomber patrol over the Pacific

Russian and Chinese bombers have flown a joint patrol mission over the western Pacific in a show of increasingly close military ties between Moscow and Beijing.

The Russian military said a pair of its Tu-95 strategic bombers and four Chinese H-6K bombers flew over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea on Tuesday.

Russia’s defence ministry said the joint mission was intended to “develop and deepen the comprehensive Russia-China partnership, further increase the level of cooperation between the two militaries, expand their ability for joint action and strengthen strategic stability”.

The ministry added that the patrol flight “wasn’t directed against any third countries”.

Tuesday’s mission was the second such flight since a July 2019 patrol over the same area.

It follows the Russian president Vladimir Putin’s statement in October that the idea of a future Russia-China military alliance could not be ruled out — a signal of deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Beijing amid growing tensions in their relations with the US.

Now that Putin is Xi’s ‘best and bosom friend’, where does that leave the west?

Until that moment, Russia and China had hailed their “strategic partnership” but rejected any talk about the possibility of forming a military alliance.

Putin also noted in October that Russia had been sharing highly sensitive military technologies with China that helped significantly bolster its defence capability.

Russia has sought to develop stronger ties with China as its relations with the west deteriorated to post-Cold War lows over issues such as Moscow’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea and accusations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
