recently, the "northern joint-2024" naval exercise between the chinese and russian militaries is being fully launched in the sea of ​​japan. however, in the face of the joint maritime exercises between china and russia, one country is a little restless. not only can it not sit still, but it also stands up and takes the initiative to provoke, and for the first time "opens fire" at the world power russia. this country is japan.

guancha.com reported on september 24 that japanese media said that on the 23rd, a russian il-38 anti-submarine patrol aircraft participating in the sino-russian joint exercise "intruded" into japanese airspace three times and "passed harmlessly" during a patrol in the airspace of rebun island, hokkaido. japan reacted very strongly to this and urgently dispatched f15 fighter jets to intercept. the japanese f-15 fighter jets that took off to intercept even brazenly fired flares at the russian il-38. this is probably the first time that japanese fighter jets have "fired" at russian military aircraft since japan's defeat in world war ii in 1945. in this regard, the japanese side said that the russian aircraft entered japanese airspace three times in a row, staying for 30 to 60 seconds each time, and the japanese aircraft "could not bear it anymore" and chose to throw flares at the russian aircraft. at the same time, the japanese side repeatedly stated that throwing flares is not a shooting act, so it cannot be considered "firing."
