The Russian Defense Ministry also published a short video of the

drills showing Russian fighter jets and strategic Tu-95MS bombers
taking part in the exercise, as well as Russian battleships engaged
in firing practice.

The drills came ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to

China in October. Chinese President Xi Jinping invited his Russian
counterpart to Beijing during a state visit to Moscow in March, at
which the two leaders signed an agreement to bring ties between
their countries into a “new era” of cooperation.

In March, Putin described relations between the two nations as a

“superior” form of cooperation to the Cold War-era interstate
alliances. Moscow and Beijing agreed at the time to “regularly
conduct joint maritime and air patrols and joint exercises,” develop
military exchange and cooperation using all available bilateral
mechanisms, and increase mutual trust between their armed forces.

Xi called relations with Russia a “strategic choice China has made”

on the basis of its fundamental interests.
