Summary

Machine summary

The Chinese and Russian air forces flew their 11th joint strategic air patrol on June 27 over the Sea of Japan, East China Sea, and western Pacific — the same geographic arc covered in previous iterations. The article provides no detail on aircraft types, sortie numbers, or participating units, limiting what can be assessed beyond the fact that the two air forces have now conducted eleven of these patrols; the numbered sequence documents an institutionalized bilateral aviation exercise that has become a recurring feature of Sino-Russian military coordination since 2019.
