Russia’s Ministry of Defense has published footage of joint Russian-Chinese naval exercises in the Sea of Japan. The clip shows sailors destroying floating mines and repelling mock attacks.
At first, ships thwarted an air attack using rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns. After that, sailors obliterated a fake floating mine using a heavy machine gun installed on a Russian anti-submarine ship "Admiral Tributs."
Ministry of Defense officials stressed that Russian and Chinese sailors honed their skills, especially navigation in various formations. The aim of the drills is to enhance peace and stability in the Asia Pacific region.
