China and Russia are conducting joint naval exercises focused on submarine rescue operations, a capability crucial for submarine warfare support and crew safety.
China and Russia launched joint naval exercises focused on submarine rescue, a matter in which Beijing said it hoped to learn operational experience from its strategic partner amid intensified competition beneath the seas.
The joint exercise includes anti-submarine warfare, joint search-and-rescue operations and other maritime missions such as air defence, according to Russia’s Tass news agency.
One stage of the drills would involve training for rescuing the crew of a simulated distressed submarine, using a deep-submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV), Tass reported on Monday.
Such missions are an important element of submarine combat support, involving the location of a disabled submarine and the safe recovery of its crew.
