"Joint Naval Exercises: Russia and China Conduct Drills in Sea of Japan"

Russia and China are conducting joint military drills in the Sea of Japan to strengthen naval cooperation and maintain stability in the Asia-Pacific region. The exercises include anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, escorting ships, guarding and defending ship detachments, ensuring safety of communications, and joint artillery firing. China, which has not condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has backed Russia in opposing US condemnation and maintains robust economic and diplomatic ties with Moscow. China's navy surpasses Russia's in size and technical ability, and the two countries have been conducting joint exercises since the start of the Ukraine conflict.
