新华社青岛7月13日电（记者李秉宣、李杰）中俄“海上联合-2026”联合演习13日上午完成全部预定课目，在青岛某军港闭幕。双方部分参演兵力起航赴太平洋海域开展联合巡航。这次联演以“联合应对海上安全威胁”为课题。双方共派出10艘各型舰艇参演，兵力涵盖水面、水下、空中及保障力量。港岸筹划阶段，双方组织图上推演、专业研讨、舰艇参观，开展篮球友谊赛、招待会等活动。转入海上演练阶段后，双方参演兵力共同完成了联合侦察、防空反导、对海打击、联合援潜救生等多个课目的实兵实弹演练。 “全程紧贴真实海空作战环境、突出实战导向，是本次联演最鲜明的特征之一。通过联演，两军进一步深化战略互信，厚植传统友谊，进一步提升联合处置海上危机的水平。”联演中方总导演说。海军研究院研究员郑宏表示，自2012年以来，中俄“海上联合”系列演习已举行12次，成为两国海军深度合作共谋发展的重要平台，对于维护地区和平稳定有着重要现实意义。

Summary

Machine summary

The China-Russia 'Joint Sea-2026' exercise concluded July 13 at Qingdao, with 10 vessels from both navies completing live-force, live-fire drills across joint reconnaissance, air defense, anti-surface strike, and submarine rescue subjects, after which a subset of participating forces departed for a joint Pacific patrol. The exercise is the 12th iteration of the Joint Sea series since 2012, and the immediate transition to a Pacific patrol extends a pattern of using the exercise as a direct on-ramp to joint operational activity rather than a standalone training event — raising the question of whether the patrol component is becoming a regularized post-exercise format. The combination of multi-domain live-fire drills with a follow-on patrol documents a deepening procedural integration between the PLAN and Russian Navy that goes beyond the 'strategic mutual trust' framing the Chinese chief director offered.
