Russia and China will form a new detachment for joint patrols in the Asia-Pacific

During the final stage of the Maritime Interaction 2025 drills (https://t.me/mod_russia_en/22525), the Russian and Chinese navy ships practised an artillery battle with the mock enemy and searched for the mock enemy submarine in the Sea of Japan waters.

🎯 Artillery systems were fired at a group naval target imitating an assault landing ship detachment of the mock enemy.

⚓️ Y-8 Chinese anti-ship aircraft and Il-38 naval aviation aircraft of the Pacific Fleet were involved in actions to locate and destroy the mock enemy submarine. Shipboard helicopters were also deployed in the search for the mock enemy submarine.

💥 As a result of effective and cohesive actions, the mock enemy submarine was promptly located and conditionally destroyed.

🤝 After completing the anti-submarine tasks, the Russian and Chinese ships crews thanked each other for fruitful work.

➡️ Having replenished supplies, ship crews of the Russian Navy and the People’s Liberation Army Navy will form a new detachment to perform joint patrols in the Asia-Pacific Region.
