The appearance of the H-6 in Alaska was just a trivial matter. Foreign media disclosed more details of the scene. At that time, a number of PLA military aircraft appeared in the Bering Strait and "confronted" with the US military aircraft. No wonder the United States did not dare to act rashly.
A thrilling scene was staged in the Bering Strait, and more than just the H-6
appeared. Recently, the North Pacific has been very lively. First, a fleet of Chinese navy ships appeared in Alaska; then, China and Russia conducted ocean-going operations in the Western Pacific and North Pacific. War preparation cruise; now, Chinese and Russian bombers have also arrived at the doorstep of the United States.
A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense confirmed that Chinese and Russian bombers conducted a joint air combat readiness patrol in the airspace near the Bering Strait. At that time, the United States and Canada urgently dispatched F-35 and other fighter jets to "intercept". But as more details emerge, the confrontation around the Bering Strait is about much more than that.
A few days ago, Russia released a route map for Chinese and Russian bombers to patrol the Bering Strait. The above three details attracted attention.
(American and Canadian fighter jets are very close to the H-6)
First of all, at that time, China and Russia dispatched early warning aircraft during cruises and "interception" by US and Canadian fighter jets. The H-6 had "backup" - Air Police 500, Russian Army The Tu-95 has an A-50 early warning aircraft, and the US military also dispatched an E-3 early warning aircraft. These early warning aircraft were probably engaged in a tense and fierce confrontation at a distance of more than 400 kilometers. The sky over the Bering Strait was once invisible. Shrouded in smoke.
In modern air combat, early warning aircraft occupy an extremely important position in fighter formations, playing a huge role in everything from reconnaissance intelligence and early warning to electronic countermeasures and air command. This time, the detection range of the Chinese and Russian early warning aircraft covers the action range of the US and Canadian military aircraft, and the US military early warning aircraft covers the joint patrol route of China and Russia. An invisible confrontation is starting.
Secondly, there is news that China’s H-6 mission took off from a Russian airport this time, demonstrating the high degree of mutual trust between the two countries, and this is precisely the scene that the United States least wants to see.
In addition, the Chinese and Russian bomber formations cruise over a wide range, entering the Bering Strait airspace from both north and south directions. If the military aircraft carry cruise missiles, it will be the strongest deterrent to the United States.
It is reported that in addition to the H-6 and KJ-500, the People's Liberation Army also dispatched the Y-20 to implement long-range transportation support. It is enough to show that the long-range strategic strike capability of the Chinese Air Force has reached a new level. It is no wonder that the US military does not dare to act rashly.

The People's Liberation Army has made two preparations, and a new round of confrontation between China and the United States has "begun"
In addition to air deployment, the Chinese Navy has also dispatched a fleet of ships to appear around Alaska. All this is enough to show that the People's Liberation Army already has the capabilities It has developed long-range strategic deterrence capabilities and poses a threat to the U.S. mainland. From the fact that the United States held back the news for a long time, we know that the US military did not take advantage at that time.
Of course, this is only the first step. If we want to really achieve the goal of deterring the US military, our country's navy and air force still have a long way to go. After all, when the critical moment comes, it will be inconvenient to take off from the Russian air force base.
After the H-20 is born in the future, the most ideal air formation should be led by the H-20, escorted by J-20, and other fighters, with tankers providing support, and early warning aircraft providing early warning and air command. By then, even if it is against a US military aircraft formation Not afraid at all.
After seeing the unprecedented cruise operation of the H-6, Taiwanese experts were "anxious" for the United States. They bluntly said that if the United States does not strengthen its defense capabilities over the Arctic, the People's Liberation Army's military aircraft may come around from time to time just like their own kitchen.
It can also be seen from here that the outside world is shocked by this joint patrol operation between China and Russia, and a new situation seems to be opening up.

Some analysts say that judging from the current situation, the game between China, the United States and Russia in the Arctic may have begun. The Arctic issue has always been the focus of attention from all parties because it has not yet been developed and countries are trying their best to compete for the right to speak there.
Domestic public opinion in the United States is worried that if China and Russia reach in-depth military cooperation in the Bering Strait and further north, the United States will be at a disadvantage on Arctic issues, thus affecting its global layout.
Of course, this is only a unilateral speculation by the United States. No one knows how the situation will develop in the future. The only thing we know clearly is that since the United States wants to "free navigation" at China's doorstep, it must be prepared to encounter the same treatment. The day when PLA military aircraft and warships conduct regular patrols around the United States may not be far away.
