Recently, the Sino-Russian joint strategic cruise came to a perfect end, and China and Russia respectively sent bomber to participate in the cruise. Russia sent Tu-95MS strategic bomber, China sent H-6K bomber to form a team with Russian fighter jets, and Su-30SM and Su-35S fighters flew as formations.
The airspace of this cruise included the Japanese Sea in addition to over the East China Sea . No wonder Japan is so vigilant about China-Russia cruises. Chinese and Russian fighter jets cruised over these waters for 8 hours, but did not "go home" after the end. Instead, they "divided their troops into two groups" and landed at the airport of the other country.
Russian fighter jets landed directly at Jianqiao Airport in Hangzhou, my country, and many Hangzhou citizens also photographed the scene of fighter jets passing over their heads.

On the same day, Japan announced that it would purchase 500 missiles
joint cruise, after the joint cruise, the Russian Ministry of Defense also issued a special statement stating that the military exercises between the two countries were not deliberate provocations against third parties , nor did it violate international law regulations.
On the day of the Sino-Russian joint cruise, relevant Japanese government officials revealed a news that The Japanese government intends to purchase US-made "Tomahawk" cruise missiles from the United States, with a maximum limit of 500. Japanese side plans to equip these missiles on frigate of Maritime Self-Defense Force , hoping to use these missiles to achieve the goal of "having counterattack capabilities". The range of the
"Tomahawk" missile can reach 1,600 kilometers, and can accurately strike targets. However, the United States has always maintained a cautious attitude on whether to sell and how many to sell. Because the Japanese side has always wanted to upgrade its existing missiles and want to reach a range of 2,000 kilometers, and in addition to improving its "counterattack" capabilities, purchasing the "Tomahawk" missile also needs to study and learn from it.
Previously, the Japanese side had stated that purchasing the US "Tomahawk" missile for research may ensure that the missiles they develop are more accurate and stable to a greater extent. However, according to the negotiations between the United States and Japan, does not rule out that the United States will reduce the number of "500".

Japan announced the purchase of the US "Tomahawk" missile on the same day of Sino-Russia joint cruise. It is also very likely to use the China-Russia cruise as an excuse to take the opportunity to strengthen its "counterattack capability", which is definitely not a good thing for Japan's Asian neighbors. A spokesperson for my country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also reminded Japan many times to learn from historical lessons, never repeat the same mistakes, and consume the trust of Asian countries.
