China and Russia on July 23 wrapped up an air and naval exercise in the Sea of Japan aimed at "safeguarding" the security of waterways, Chinese state media reported on July 25.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV carried footage of Chinese and Russian warships taking part in firing drills at sea.
More than 10 warships and over 30 warplanes from both sides took part in the four-day "Northern/Interaction-2023" exercise as Chinese and Russian navies and air forces jointly planned and commanded naval and aerial escorts, deterrence and repelling exercises.
The show of solidarity between the militaries comes at a time when the United States is beefing up ties with Japan and South Korea and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is looking to deepen its presence in the region, to the anger of China and Russia.
In the missile distance mission, the Blue Team used air, surface and underwater forces to harass and challenge the Chinese and Russian air defense teams.
The Chinese and Russian Red Team used the method of switching command to deal with unknown air traffic, identify and verify electromagnetic silence and surface targets, and practice the content of submarine threat zones.
We will work with the air anti-submarine patrol aircraft to track and strike the submarine targets under water.
Then, enemy ships appear on the water.
The naval joint forces are under the command of the Russian combat group,
relying on the Russian air force to quickly adjust formation,
improve the level of the formation deployment, and continue to search for air targets.
The 130 main gun of the Navy's flagship HMS Hull is about to adjust its firing line and carry out the mission of sea strike.
The air force in the south continues to simulate the attack on the Chinese and Russian naval battle groups.
The Chinese naval battle group command center will take over the command,
adjusting the formation of the air defense formation and the air warning aircraft.
The Guiyang-based artillery system is ready for defense.
The air-to-air live-fire shooting is about to begin.
While the squadron is building a T-shaped defense system, the air combat group also moves out of the blockade and conducts electronic suppression with electronic interference machines.
In the last exercise of the exercise, the squadron has just completed the Mao Bo, and the Blue Army has launched a surprise attack on the Mao's land.
The squadron of the Chinese and Russian Coast Guard is commanded by the Chinese and Russian, and the Chinese and Russian are switched to the straight-line.
The Russian straight-line found the Blue Armored Vessel approaching the squadron.
Under the command of the Chinese and Russian Coast Guard Command, the Chinese and Russian ships quickly organized to respond and simulate the attack on the armed vessel.
This exercise has achieved innovative breakthroughs in the form of organization, command methods and the integration of forces.
