Chinese and Russian nuclear bombers exchanged airfields for the first time in history - H-6K Xian landed in Russia and China received Tu-95MS

As part of the joint exercises of China and Russia, planes of the two countries exchanged airfields for the first time in history.

Here's What We Know

Chinese H-6K Xian and Russian Tu-95MS are taking part in the exercise. They flew over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea accompanied by Su-30 and Su-35 fighters. In flight they crossed the identification zone of the air defense of South Korea without violating the airspace of the country.

The interesting thing about the exercise is that for the first time in history Russian nuclear bombers landed in China. Presumably, at an airfield located in Zhejiang province. The planes of the Chinese strategic aviation flew to Russia, thus reciprocating.
