In recent days, four American B-52 strategic bombers conducted flights over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, accompanied by Japanese fighter jets, underscoring the military cooperation between the United States and Japan. The exercises took place from February 16 to 18 and involved aircraft from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, specifically three F-3 fighters from the 7th Air Wing, three F-2s from the 8th Air Wing, and five F-15s from the 9th Air Wing, who participated in joint tactical maneuvers alongside the US B-52s. This show of military force comes amidst heightened tensions in the Indo-Pacific region, notably due to strategic competition with China and the uncertainty surrounding North Korea's actions, which keep regional armed forces on high alert.
