The US Marine Corps is ordering a two-day pause to all its flight operations this week. In an announcement, the service said this was triggered by a string of "aviation mishaps." The Marine Corps said the announcement follows "three Class-A aviation mishaps over the last six weeks." On August 24, an F/A-18 fighter jet crashed in southern California, killing the Marine who was piloting the aircraft. "This stand down being taken to ensure the service is maintaining operational standardization of combat-ready aircraft with well-prepared pilots and crews."

Chinese H-6K bomber patrolling over islands and reefs in the South China Sea. "Probably, the fighter aircraft [was] deployed from the bases on the artificial islands in the Spratly Islands to support simulated strikes in the South China Sea. "The early warning aircraft can help monitor potential threats in the air, most notably enemy fighter aircraft that may try to shoot down the bomber. The early warning aircraft can also help coordinate activities among the different planes. Although the drill showed the enhanced ability of the Chinese air force, the bomber's capability boosted the threat already posed to US military forces by only a little, Heath said.
