Trump Signal: Russian and Chinese submarines for the first time patrolled the Pacific Ocean

To spread: it was the first in history such a common patrol of Russia and China. The submarines were in the Japanese and East China Sea. According to a statement of the Pacific Fleet of Russia, patrols of diesel-electric submarines began in early August, and the Russian submarine "Volkhov", which participated in it, overcame about 3200 km during his campaign from the base in Vladivostok, writes CNN.

China did not confirm the fact of patrol, but the Global Times mentioned newspaper mentioned it in its message on Wednesday, referring to Russian reports. "The first joint patrolling of submarines demonstrated a high level of strategic mutual trust between China and Russia. Maintaining a connection between submarines requires not only a higher level of technical knowledge, but also a deeper exchange of information," Global Times quote Chinese military expert.

Provided the first submarine patrolling of the corvette "Thug" and the rescue tugboat "Photi Krylov" of the Pacific Fleet. Over the past few years, China and Russia have intensified military cooperation. "Thanks to joint training and patrol, Chinese and Russian naval forces steadily increase their opportunities for joint security and stability," Zhang said.

In 2021, during a campaign declared by the first common Chinese-Russian naval patrol in the western Pacific, a fleet of 10 Chinese and Russian warships carried out a worldwide voyage around Japan's main island. Since then, joint patrols have been held annually.

Roszmi reported on August 27 that the purpose of patrolling Submarine "is to strengthen the naval cooperation of two countries, to ensure peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, to monitor the maritime water area and to protect marine economic objects of Russia and China. " Beijing and Moscow also expand the range of cooperation.

Common air and maritime patrols near the shores of Alaska have been carried out since 2023, including joint patrolling by four ships of China and two ships of the Russian border service in the Bering Sea near the US and Russia maritime border. Earlier this month, the US Coast Guard said it was monitoring the activities of five Chinese research vessels in the US Arctic Waters.

Meanwhile, according to the statements of the North America Air Force Command (Norad), at least four flights of Russian reconnaissance aircraft in the Alaska Air Defense Aircraft have been recorded over the last week. It is not considered a threat there, since the Norad message states that such "Russian activity" occurs regularly. However, the analysis of NORAD releases shows that four flights a week is an unusual phenomenon.
