The first stage of the exercise took place in the Mediterranean in May and received positive feedback from the command of the Russian and Chinese armed forces. Ships of both countries have worked artillery firing, anti-submarine defense and the fight against pirates.

I am glad that "Bear" and "Dragons" (the union of a bear and a dragon) have found a common language.

Here, in the afternoon I photographed how they are standing in the port together with our ship. Interestingly, Chinese ships are lighter. Is this probably somehow connected with the fact that they have warmer and lighter?

Rather, they have a common enemy!

"Will perform" ... (the cruiser "Varyag").

Is it on stage?

Naval exercises are not a booth or a circus.

Only an outspoken idealist will think that China suddenly, like a good fairy, will begin to make us pleasant.
China, as well as Europe and the United States will act only on the basis of its interests.
There is even an opinion that China will be downright cynical to "use" Russia, and that we should not turn away from the West. Maybe.
But China has one critical advantage over the entire "civilized" world - it doesn't teach us how to live!
Yes, only because of this I would work with them.
And what about "using" Russia, our liberals are pro-Western from jealousy, for some reason they decided that only the "enlightened" world can do this.

Hmm, we decided to send the old man 2006 of the year. Last year, the flagship 052 was then. Now 051C, despite the fact that there were rumors that it would be the flagship in general head 052D.
