Xi & Putin's bombers soar over Taiwan: as Taipei concludes drills, China & Russia prep for real war?

China and Russia have carried out their 11th joint strategic air patrol just days after Taiwan wrapped up five days of combat readiness drills. Chinese H-6K bombers and Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers flew across the Sea of Japan, East China Sea and western Pacific in a mission lasting nearly six hours. The patrol followed Taiwan’s blockade simulations and rapid-response exercises against growing Chinese military pressure. Is Beijing sending a message after Taipei’s war games?
