Russian Strategic Bombers Conduct Flight Over Sea of Japan Amid Rising Geopolitical Tensions
Moscow's latest military maneuvers in the region coincide with increased strategic bomber patrols and naval drills alongside China, seen as a challenge to U.S. and allied influence.
Russian Tu-95MS nuclear-capable strategic bombers recently completed a scheduled six-hour flight over neutral waters in the Sea of Japan, accompanied by Su-35S and Su-30SM fighter jets, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
This maneuver comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions in Northeast Asia, where Moscow has been bolstering its military presence through coordinated bomber patrols and naval drills with China.
Such actions are perceived as a direct challenge to U.S. and allied influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Japan, which has been strengthening its security ties with Washington and regional partners, views these incursions as both provocative and destabilizing.
