Chose Navy, Russia, and China have initiated joint naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman, their fifth consecutive year conducting such drills, as Iran accuses the US of ‘bullying’.
In a bid to bolster their collaboration, Iran, Russia, and China have commenced joint naval maneuvers in the Gulf of Oman. These drills mark the fifth year of their combined military training.
According to CGTN, the exercises, named Marine Security Belt 2025, began on Tuesday near the Iranian port of Chabahar with the objective of enhancing cooperation among the participating nations’ naval forces.
These drills encompass practicing strikes on maritime targets, damage control measures, and joint search and rescue operations.
On Tuesday, missiles and artillery of the three countries’ naval forces destroyed hundreds of mock enemy vessels and flight drones imitating weapons of potential adversaries, Russian Interfax reported.
Naval contingents from Azerbaijan, South Africa, Oman, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Sri Lanka are observing the exercises.
These naval exercises are taking place despite the fact that China and Russia traditionally do not patrol Middle Eastern waters. However, regional waterways have become increasingly militarized over recent years.
