Reuters: China air force says conducted 'multiple' long-range missions this week
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's air force said on Saturday that its fighters and bombers conducted "multiple" long-range drills far out at sea this week, including flying near Japan and self-ruled Taiwan, in what it said was a test of its ability to operate over the sea.
In a statement on its official microblog, the air force said its aircraft had flown through both the Miyako Strait -
which lies between two southern Japanese islands - and the Bashi Channel that separates Taiwan and the Philippines.
"China's air force over the past week conducted multiple drills far out at sea, with H-6K bombers and many other types of aircraft flying through the Bashi Channel and Miyako Strait, testing actual battle capabilities over the sea," it said.
