This training route is a bit unusual but they insists on flying this route
"We encountered a lot of obstructions and disruptions during these missions," said SHEN Jin Ke, air brigadier general and Chinese Air Force spokesman, in his speech, "but we will continue to Go out and multiply our flights.
According to several sources two sides, six Chinese H-6K bombers approached the east coast of Japan on Thursday, August 24, before turning around about 550 km from Tokyo.
While the Chinese exits of the first chain of islands have become more and more frequent these days, this new maneuver of the Chinese air force remains unusual. In fact, this is the first time that the Chinese air forces are lining the east coast of the Japanese archipelago, and also arriving near the capital of Japan.
Although the H-6K, apparently unarmed from the photos, did not enter Japan's airspace, they actually entered Japan's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). The Japanese fighter jets took off to escort the Chinese bombers.
If our data is accurate, the H-6K traveled no less than 4,500 km in total on this mission.

Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera did not fail to recall his concern at the regular press conference on Friday: "This is the first time that Chinese military aircraft have taken this flight path. We have already expressed our concern through diplomatic channels. "
Until now, Chinese military aircraft mainly concentrated their activities over the East China Sea, where the Chinese government also set up their own ADIZ, plus a few tours around the island of Taiwan, The number has increased significantly in recent times. The official report of the Japanese Main Staff also shows some Chinese overflights in the Japanese Sea, passing through the Tsushima Strait, located between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.

Apart from this new H-6K air route in this "unprecedented" flight, there is also a change of attitude in the communication of the Chinese Army.
Indeed, the latter only rarely communicates about the activities of its air forces, particularly those that cross the first chain of islands, and often leaves the Taiwanese and Japanese army to reveal its exits before commenting thereafter .
This time, it was the Chinese Air Force which first communicated, publishing on its Weibo account (a kind of Chinese Twitter) a picture of one of the six bombers H -6K which was flying near the Japanese archipelago, while arrived much later in the evening.
On the evening of the 24th of August, the CCTV-7 military newspaper of 20h mentions the "normalization" of the first chain of islands by the Chinese Air Force, whose number has gone from "4 times in 2015" to "several times a week" today.
"We encountered a lot of obstructions and disruptions during these missions," said SHEN Jin Ke, air brigadier general and Chinese Air Force spokesman, in his speech, "but we will continue to Go out and multiply our flights. "
It is still unclear whether this new H-6K flight is linked to , where two US Airforce B-1B bombers and JASDF F-15J fighter jetsmaneuvered together Of the Senkaku / Diaoyu Islands. However, the possibility that the Chinese army will replicate the same path as in the vicinity of Taiwan will be excluded, and other types of military aircraft - such as electronic warfare, hunters and tankers - will be added in the next few years. Exits to the east coast of Japan.
