A total of 14 surface ships, two submarines, nine fixed-wing warplanes, six shipboard helicopters and two operational detachments will take part in the drill. This is the first time in the joint exercise that Chinese and Russian forces will work together under the command of both Chinese and Russian officers. The commander of China’s Zhengzhou missile destroyer says the drill will focus on testing shore and docking techniques, as well as equipment and supply lines.

On Wednesday, the two navies carried out a plan which is a necessary part of the drill. They formulated detailed tactics, and planned the use of weapons and ships.
