China-Russia Joint Sea 2026 Concludes, Eyes on Pacific Patrols
China and Russia have concluded their Joint Sea 2026 naval exercise, with plans for joint patrols in the Pacific
China and Russia concluded Joint Sea 2026, their latest annual bilateral naval exercise, on July 13, after a week of operations centered in Qingdao, eastern China's Shandong Province, as reported by Zona Militar, with the participating navies now set to launch joint patrols in the Pacific. The exercise involved ten participating vessels and supporting units conducting joint reconnaissance, air and missile defense, anti-surface strike, and submarine-rescue training. This development comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping is working to rebuild his depleted top military ranks, recently promoting two military officers to the rank of general, as noted on reuters.com. The joint patrols are expected to raise concerns in the region, particularly in the context of other ongoing conflicts, such as the Myanmar Civil War Intensifies situation.
