Relations between Russia and Japan have long been changing in a negative direction. If earlier both countries found compromises, then with the outbreak of the Ukrainian conflict, Tokyo changed its attitude towards Moscow.
The Japanese government supports sanctions against Russia, condemns military activities in Ukraine and supports Kiev in building up its defense capabilities, Baijiahao newspaper said.
In a symbolic move, Japan in 2022 called the Kuril Islands status “illegally occupied” in its Diplomatic Bluebook. The situation has recently become more tense, and Russia has issued a “non-standard response”.
First, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation - Mr. Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow does not accept such an expression.
“Putin knows that thousands of diplomatic protests are useless, and a single bomber takeoff will have the best effect on Japan,” the Chinese-language publication wrote.
Just days after Japan decided to re-recognize the Kuril Islands as “occupied,” Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the entire Pacific Fleet to be on alert and put on the highest level of combat readiness. Analysts say the scale of the military exercise is staggering.
In addition to warships, long-range aviation, and marines, support units also participated. Fighters practiced intercepting and destroying enemy bombers, while infantry honed their beach landing skills. It is understood that the test is aimed at improving the ability to repel enemy attacks from all directions at sea.
“Who is the target? Based on the fact that Russia is conducting drills in the Sea of Japan and the Bering Sea near Alaska,” Baijiahao said.
The Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet has conducted large-scale exercises.
According to Chinese newspapers, when the Ukraine conflict broke out, when Moscow paid special attention to the western border, Washington relied on Tokyo to exert pressure from the east. It seems that this time the Russian government decided to end the above situation.
“President Putin has taken a big step by designating the Bering Sea as the location for the drills to enhance deterrence against the US military,” Baijiahao wrote.
"Do not forget that Russia is also a nuclear power, possessing the Sarmat intercontinental missile and many hypersonic missiles such as the Zirkon, Kinzhal and Avangard."
"Russia has begun to show its 'sword' and for the United States, it is a wake-up call. Now the White House must think about the consequences of playing with fire."
Experts of this newspaper emphasized: "Tokyo will not stop its actions as soon as the US government wants to cool down tensions in the region. Therefore, Moscow is conducting exercises with an eye not only on Japan but also the United States."
