Just hours after the latest close military encounter between the US and China, when the US navy sailed a destroyer to within 12 nautical miles of the contested Spratly Islands in the South China Sea as a “freedom of navigation” operation – a move that China condemned as a “severe provocation” just as the two countries launched an all-out trade war – the Chinese military launched its spring combat readiness drills with an air force exercise in the West Pacific and a joint combat patrol mission in the South China Sea.
The air force drills include H-6K bombers and Su-30 and Su-35 fighters, according to the PLA , and have a simple, if clear, purpose: “Air Force exercises are rehearsals for future wars and are the most direct preparation for war,” the Chinese Air Force said on its Weibo account on Sunday, according to Reuters.
