解放军报青岛7月13日电记者张琳、张军胜报道：13日上午，中俄“海上联合-2026”联合演习在山东青岛某军港闭幕。中俄“海上联合-2026”联合演习以“联合应对海上安全威胁”为课题。在港岸筹划阶段，双方进行了图上推演、专业研讨、舰艇参观、篮球友谊赛、招待会等交流活动。转入海上演练阶段后，双方参演兵力密切协同、默契配合，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科目的实兵演练。这次联合演习提升了中俄海军的战略互信和协作水平，推动了双方务实合作走深走实。自2012年以来，“海上联合”系列演习已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 a military port in Qingdao, completing both a port-phase and an at-sea phase that included joint reconnaissance, air defense and anti-missile drills, surface strike exercises, and submarine rescue operations. The exercise extends the 'Joint Sea' series now in its fourteenth year, documenting continued institutionalization of PLAN-Russian Navy interoperability across the full spectrum of combined naval warfare tasks rather than any single functional domain. The breadth of subjects—air defense, strike, and submarine rescue in a single exercise—raises the question of whether the two navies are deliberately broadening the operational template beyond the anti-surface and ASW focus that characterized earlier iterations.
