The U.S. flew two supersonic heavy bombers into China's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday in an apparent show of force, amid regional uncertainty during the presidential transition period.
U.S. Air Force B-1Bs MAZER01 and MAZER02 were dispatched from Anderson Air Force Base in Guam and entered China's East China Sea ADIZ, northeast of the island of Taiwan, military flight tracker Aircraft Spots noted on Twitter.
The long-range bombers were refueled by KC-135 Stratotankers PEARL21 and PEARL22 in the Philippine Sea, the account said.
