Russian and Chinese warships conducted drills in the Pacific Ocean for the third joint maritime patrol.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the crews of the ships have already gone through the Sea of Japan, La Pérouse Strait, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Kamchatka Strait. 

Seamen from both nations have practiced joint tactical maneuvers, communications training, and helicopter landings and takeoffs from the decks of each other's ships. Since the mission began, the squadron has traveled more than 2,300 nautical miles.

The Russian Navy and the People's Liberation Army Navy performed an anti-submarine drill in the southern Bering Sea, practicing the search, escort, and destruction of a mock enemy submarine using shipboard hydroacoustic search equipment and Ka-27PL anti-submarine deck helicopters.

After identifying the target's coordinates and figures of movement, recommendations for weapon usage were produced. The seamen then unleashed a barrage of reactive depth bombs at the simulated submarine.

Late last month, Russia and China concluded cooperative naval drills in the Sea of Japan, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, as the two partners aim to strengthen their military ties.

The two have forged a closer military alliance since the war in Ukraine began. 

As part of the "North/Interaction-2023" naval drills held in the Sea of Japan, the Russian Pacific Fleet said last Saturday that Russian and Chinese naval forces conducted joint artillery firing at a sea target.

The exercises aim to strengthen future security in the maritime routes in the region, further improve strategic military cooperation between the two countries, bolster joint coordination to maintain regional peace and stability, and increase readiness to respond to mutual security challenges.

Every year on the final Sunday in July, Russia observes Navy Day. According to the Defense Ministry, this year's show in St. Petersburg included 33 warships and boats, four submarines, and eight sailing vessels. A total of 3,000 soldiers participated in the procession.

The President recollected how the Russian fleet had won numerous naval battles, since Peter the Great's reign in the early 18th century, and had completed numerous travels around the world while documenting numerous scientific, geographical, and technological discoveries.

He noted that this year is the 320th anniversary of Russia's Baltic Fleet, the 290th anniversary of its Northern Fleet, and the 240th anniversary of its Black Sea Fleet.
