Chinese and Russian fleets set sail from a naval port in Zhanjiang, south China’s Guangdong Province, on Monday for a three-day maritime exercise.
As a key part of an ongoing China-Russia joint exercise, the drill will include anchorage defense, joint reconnaissance and early warning, joint search and rescue, joint air defense, missile defense and other themes, according to a military source.
The weapons firing will be conducted to test the results of previous discussions and exchanges during the planning phase, the source said.
Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, announced on Friday that the Chinese and Russian militaries have launched the Maritime Joint Exercise 2024 in the waters and airspace near Zhanjiang. The exercise will last until mid-July.
