I can see why the Russian fighters were there but I can't understand what the Chinese aircraft were doing there. China is a long ways from Alaska.
Same reason we fly our aircraft over the black sea. It's power projection.
We may have nearby bases or aircraft carriers in the black sea, but to my knowledge, China doesn't have any bases near Alaska.
No surprise if Russians would allow them to operate from one of theirs.
If the Russians are letting the Chinese use their bases, that's news to me.
