Military Cooperation Between Russia and China
This joint exercise reflects the deepening military and economic partnership between Russia and China. Both nations aim to counterbalance the influence of the United States on the global stage.
Russian President to Oversee Exercises
President Vladimir Putin is expected to formally open the exercises and will oversee them from a command center in the Kremlin. The drills will involve more than 120 aircraft and helicopters, approximately 7,000 pieces of military equipment, and over 90,000 personnel.
China’s Contribution
China has dispatched four warships and a supply vessel to join the Russian fleet in the Sea of Japan. The drills will also cover the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean, Caspian, and Baltic Seas.
Objectives of the Drills
The exercises are designed to test the readiness of the navy's leadership, assess weapon systems, and expand cooperation with allied nations.
Japanese Observation and Response
Japan’s defense ministry reported observing Chinese naval ships entering the Sea of Japan over the weekend, heading towards Russian waters. This prompted Japan's Self-Defense Forces to increase surveillance and gather intelligence.
Strategic Importance of the Tsushima Strait
The Tsushima Strait, located between South Korea and Japan, connects the South China Sea and the Sea of Japan. It is not within Japanese territorial waters but is closely monitored.
Regional Tensions and Defense Spending
China's growing influence and recent assertiveness in territorial disputes have raised concerns among the US and its allies. Japan has responded by seeking a record defense budget of 8.5 trillion yen for the next fiscal year as part of its broader defense buildup plan.
