For the first time in history: Russian planes landed in Beijing

During the flight, the aircraft went to the Korea air defense control zone, but the state did not violate the air space. The Russian strategic aviation for the first time landed in the capital of China Beijing. This happened within the framework of a joint flight, which involved air groups with Tu-95MC and Xian H-6 under the cover of fighter jets, according to the CLASH REPORT telegram. It is known that the planes were flying over the Japanese and East Chinese seas.

This training was special because the first was planted by Russian strategic aircraft in China, and Chinese in the Russian Federation, which was reported in the Kremlin. It should be noted that China and the Russian Federation had already conducted joint exercises. In 2004, the countries conducted annual joint counter -terrorist maneuvers "Mirna Mission". In April 2012, the first maritime training "Maritime Interaction" took place.

Since 2018, the China's army has been involved in joint ground exercises "East-2018", "Center-2019", "Caucasus-2020". Since 2019, China and the Russian Federation have been running strategic aviation joint flights. Earlier, China promised to support Russia under the leadership of Vladimir Putin. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the China stated that both China and Russia have legal right to "their own development and revival", which no one can interfere.
