TL;DR

Chinese state television broadcast footage of Chinese and Russian warships and submarines, ahead of a joint naval exercise between the two countries, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).

01 · THE DISPATCH

Chinese state television aired footage showing naval vessels and submarines from both China and Russia, as the two countries prepare for a joint military exercise in the coming period. The broadcast was highlighted by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) on Sunday afternoon.

As The Zioneer reported earlier on Sunday, China's Defense Ministry announced that the two navies would hold a joint drill off the Chinese coast this month. No additional operational details or a precise date have been disclosed.

The display of naval assets follows a broader pattern of deepening military cooperation between Beijing and Moscow, which NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte recently described as part of a wider alignment involving Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
