The Chinese and Russian navies have practiced destroying an “enemy submarine” in the Sea of Japan on Aug. 6 during joint military drills, days after President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed near Russia.

The navy of the Chinese communist regime and the Russian navy held their annual joint exercises from Aug. 1 to Aug. 5, which included artillery fire, anti-submarine and air defense mission training, and improving the ability of joint maritime search-and-rescue operations, according to Chinese state media.
