Bloomberg reports that the two regimes just conducted their 11th joint strategic air patrol over the Sea of Japan, East China Sea, and western Pacific. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, South Korea's top military body, reported that the nation was forced to scramble fighter jets after more than 10 Chinese and Russian aircraft breached its Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ). This specific operational setup historically weaponizes nuclear-capable Russian Tu-95MS and Chinese H-6 bombers flanked by advanced J-16 escorts.

If the PRC starts intercepting ships into or out of TWN it creates quite a grey zone dilemma.

I am still of the opinion the PRC does not have the resources to be successful with a TWN invasion either this year or next.
