China and Russia have begun their largest ever joint naval exercise in the Sea of Japan. It’s the Chinese navy’s single biggest deployment of military force in any joint foreign exercise.
The Chinese Navy has dispatched four guided missile destroyers, two guided missile frigates, a supply ship, and three ship-borne helicopters. There are nineteen warships and more than 10 aircraft and helicopters taking part in the maneuvers. China’s national defense ministry says the drills are not targeted at any third party, and the aim is to deepen cooperation between the two militaries.
The two navies will practice recapturing ships seized by pirates and search-and-rescue operations. There will also be a number of air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship exercises. Operation "Joint Sea-2013" will run through to July 12th. Russia and China have regularly held joint naval drills since 2005, under the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
