MOSCOW. The Russian and Chinese navies are conducting joint artillery and anti-submarine drills in the Sea of Japan as part of scheduled military exercises, according to a statement from the Russian Pacific Fleet on Sunday.
The maneuvers, titled “Maritime Interaction-2025,” are set to run until Tuesday and involve a joint detachment of vessels, including a large Russian anti-submarine ship, two Chinese destroyers, diesel-electric submarines from both countries, and a Chinese submarine rescue vessel.
Despite the timing, the drills were planned before U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he had ordered two American nuclear submarines to be deployed in “the appropriate regions.” His order came in response to what he described as “highly provocative” remarks by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev regarding the risk of war between nuclear powers.
Interfax news agency reported that participating Russian and Chinese sailors will engage in artillery firing, anti-submarine and air defense exercises, as well as joint search and rescue operations at sea.
Russia and China, which entered a “no-limits” strategic partnership just before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, have continued to hold regular military exercises to strengthen coordination between their armed forces and signal deterrence to rivals.
Both Russia and the United States possess the world’s largest nuclear arsenals. Public discussion of submarine deployments by either nation remains highly unusual.
