War Games with China



As I wrote about earlier, the Russian and Chinese Navies will be conducting joint war games. 

On the 17th of April a group of four Russian ships left Vladivostok and headed for the Yellow Sea. 

The ships will participate in a week long exercise, which have taken place since 2005. 


Rear Adm. Leonid Sukhanov, the Russian navy's deputy chief of staff said,



"The joint naval exercise will be held within the framework of strategic partnership principles agreed by leaders of both countries," he said. "Armament, support and protection systems will be practically tested, as well as command and control systems of the Russian and Chinese armed forces."


The following ships were sent:
Guided missile cruiser Varyag 




Large antisubmarine ships Marshal Shaposhnikov, Admiral Panteleyev and Admiral Vinogradov
