During the maneuvers, the vessels practiced coordination in various types of defense while changing positions to execute central command tasks.
The ships carried out a series of exercises, including organizing air defense, anti-submarine, and mine defense.
Under unified control, the ship crews successfully repelled a simulated air attack from a fictional enemy using live artillery fire.
Additionally, they navigated through a mine-dangerous area and neutralized a floating sea mine.
The training also included actions against high-speed unmanned boats and aerial drones, as well as night shooting exercises against maritime targets.
The Russian-Chinese detachment consisted of Russian corvettes “Gromky,” “Sovershenny,” and “Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov,” along with support ships from the Pacific Fleet.
China contributed the destroyers “Xining” and “Wuxi,” the frigate “Lin Yi,” and the supply ship “Taihu.”
This joint display of force by China and Russia is part of a series of strategic military exercises aimed at intimidating NATO countries and their allies, who support Ukraine in the war against the Russian invasion.
