Hello from China. Russian-Chinese naval exercises "Maritime interaction - 2012"
19
All the media talk about the next Russian-Chinese naval exercises "Marine Interaction - 2012". Which this time will naturally exceed in scale all previous ones, and most importantly will differ in content. It is believed that so far the interaction has been directed solely at anti-terrorist activities, and now, among other things, at countering the challenges of external enemies ... It is clear that the exercises are planned, but against the background of the large joint exercises of the US and Philippine Armed Forces, which are also scheduled (annual "Balikatan" - Shoulder to shoulder), but this time with some unthinkable scale, all these activities look very intriguing. Among other things, this year for the first time Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam and Singapore joined Balikatan. In addition, they changed the location of these exercises, before they were held in the southern Philippines, now - near the disputed areas of the South China Sea claimed by China!
Well, all right, let it all bother big minds, but our business is small, to show how it all looks through the eyes of Vladivostok sailors.))
