Russia's long-range strategic bomber flies over the Sea of ​​Japan, perhaps keeping Japan and the US in check?. The flight lasted approximately 10 hours and was accompanied by Russian Air Force Sukhoi 30 fighter jets as escort.

The air force commander said: "The flight was carried out in strict accordance with international law." The pilots regularly fly over the high seas of the Arctic, North Atlantic, Black Sea, Baltic Sea and Pacific Ocean. By flying strategic bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons around Japan, Russia appears to be aiming to keep Japan and United States in check.
