"Warships of the Russian Navy and the Chinese Navy performed combat exercises with practical firing during the anti-submarine and air defense exercise in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean," the statement said.
It is noted that the joint Russian-Chinese fleet is currently conducting patrols in the Asia-Pacific region.
First, the squadron of ships in the designated area searched for a submarine of the mock enemy and made a pursuit for the vessel. To destroy the 'enemy' submarine, the crews of the Russian ships used RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launchers.
The crews of the Russian and Chinese naval vessels then practiced repelling an air missile attack by the mock 'enemy'. They fired from the ship's Kinzhal anti-aircraft missile system, and utilized passive jamming systems to draw their forces away from the missile attack.
