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 “safeguarding the security of strategic waterways”, according to China’s defence ministry.
Codenamed “Northern/Interaction-2023”, the drill marks enhanced military cooperation between China and Russia.
I’m surprised that there are Russian air assets that aren’t being pulled to their western front. That said, there are surely plenty of Russian naval assets that can’t really help much in Ukraine.
Probably a bunch of MIG-1s if the tank sitch on the front is anything to go by.
At least from what I’ve seen from the Russian navy. They are getting slaughtered by torpedo drones. For a moment, we even had them going into Russia’s Dry docks, ruining ships that were being repaired.
While you are partially right, in that you don’t need ships on a land battle. I feel this is more of a helicopter analogy. In that Russia does have attack helicopters, but can’t use them effectively because they keep getting knocked out by better anti-air weaponry.

they’re probably using fishing boats and rafts to simulate aircraft carriers.
