BEIJING, July 16 (Reuters) - A Chinese naval flotilla set off on Sunday to join Russian naval and air forces in the Sea of Japan in an exercise aimed at āsafeguarding the security of strategic waterwaysā, according to Chinaās defence ministry.
Codenamed āNorthern/Interaction-2023ā, the drill marks enhanced military cooperation between China and Russia.
Iām surprised that there are Russian air assets that arenāt being pulled to their western front. That said, there are surely plenty of Russian naval assets that canāt really help much in Ukraine.
At least from what Iāve seen from the Russian navy. They are getting slaughtered by torpedo drones. For a moment, we even had them going into Russiaās Dry docks, ruining ships that were being repaired.
While you are partially right, in that you donāt need ships on a land battle. I feel this is more of a helicopter analogy. In that Russia does have attack helicopters, but canāt use them effectively because they keep getting knocked out by better anti-air weaponry.

Thatās fine, itās international waters. Unlike China we respect water treaties and donāt try to build up man made islands and claim āthese are our waters nowā
