Chinese and Russian militaries conducted their 11th joint strategic air patrol over the Sea of Japan and western Pacific on Saturday, showcasing what Beijing called a shared commitment to regional stability while prompting Seoul to scramble fighter jets over air defense zone entries.

Chinese and Russian forces carried out their 11th joint strategic air drill on Saturday over the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea and the western Pacific Ocean, according to state media reports from Beijing.

Strategic patrol over contested waters

The patrol, conducted in "relevant airspace," demonstrated the two countries' resolve to jointly safeguard regional peace and stability, China's Ministry of National Defense told Xinhua News Agency. The operation marked the latest iteration of periodic strategic air patrols between the two militaries.

Seoul scrambles jets after zone intrusion

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said that 10 Chinese and Russian military aircraft entered the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) above eastern and southern waters earlier on Saturday. The aircraft did not violate the country's sovereign airspace, though Seoul dispatched Air Force fighter jets to prepare for possible contingencies after detecting the approach.

No response from Beijing or Moscow

The aircraft entered the KADIZ "briefly" during the course of the joint drills, according to South Korea's military assessment. Chinese and Russian officials offered no immediate reaction to Seoul's claims regarding the air defense zone entry.
