Two U.S. Air Force B-52H “Stratofortress” Long-Range Nuclear-Capable Strategic Bombers with the “Red Devils” of the 96th Bomb Squadron, 2nd Bomb Wing, out of Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, participated in a “show of force” yesterday over the Sea of Japan alongside an F-15DJ with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force’s 303rd Tactical Fighter Squadron and an F-15J with the 306th Tactical Fighter Squadron, both from the 6th Air Wing stationed at Komatsu Air Base, and a number of additional F-35s and F-15s with the JASDF.
The flight follows several aggressive actions against Japan and South Korea by both China and Russia over the last week, beginning with threats against the life of Japan’s Prime Minister for comments made about Taiwan, and coming to a head as fighter jets with the People’s Liberation Army Navy locked their fire-control radars onto Japanese F-15Js off the coast of Okinawa this past weekend and long-range strategic bombers of the Russian and People's Liberation Army Air Force conducted a rare joint patrol over the Sea of Japan - violating South Korea’s Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ).
