新华社符拉迪沃斯托克7月29日电(记者李秉宣 孙萍)参加中俄海军海上联合巡航的舰艇编队29日抵达俄罗斯符拉迪沃斯托克,此次联合巡航结束。 联合巡航的舰艇编队由中国海军导弹驱逐舰开封舰、鞍山舰和综合补给舰可可西里湖舰,俄罗斯海军“凛冽”号护卫舰组成。 编队于7月13日自山东青岛起航,航经宫古海峡、择捉海峡、宗谷海峡,在西太平洋及鄂霍次克海、日本海等海域开展联合巡航。 巡航期间,中俄双方共同开展了舰载直升机互降、联合反恐、人道主义救援、临检拿捕等课目演练。中方舰艇还结合当面海空情态势,临机设置情节,开展多项实战化课目演练。 此次联合巡航是中俄两军年度合作计划内安排,旨在提升两军联合行动能力、共同应对海上安全威胁,与当前国际和地区局势无关。

Summary

Machine summary

The Chinese Navy destroyers Kaifeng and Anshan and replenishment ship Kekexili Hu, joined by Russian frigate Rezkiy, completed a 16-day joint maritime patrol on July 29, transiting the Miyako, Iturup, and Soya Straits and operating in the western Pacific, Sea of Okhotsk, and Sea of Japan before concluding in Vladivostok. The patrol included cross-deck helicopter landings, VBSS, and what the report describes as 实战化 (combat-realistic) training conducted against actual air and maritime contacts encountered en route — a detail that extends the standard joint-patrol template toward live-environment tactical practice. The closing disclaimer that the patrol is 'unrelated to the current international and regional situation' is itself a messaging choice worth noting, as such language does not appear in all prior patrol readouts.
