新闻日期：2024-09-10
普京称俄罗斯海军正在举行三十年来规模最大的一次军演，并批评美国在加剧武器竞赛。
俄罗斯国防部宣布，名为“Ocean”的军演将持续到9月16日，参与的舰艇和飞机超过400艘、120架以及9万人。演习将在太平洋、北冰洋、地中海、里海和波罗的海五大海域进行。
俄罗斯国防部长指出，“Ocean”这一代号与上世纪70年代至80年代苏联海军最大规模军演相同，目的是维护国家安全并维持世界格局。
此外，中国海军也参与了此次演习，在日本海域与俄舰艇进行了联合训练。自2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来，莫斯科和北京加强了经济和军事合作，这一合作关系也被北约定义为中国在战争中的“决定性支持者”。

President said the Russian Navy is holding its largest combat drills in three decades as he hit out at the US over an accelerating arms race.“The US is seeking to achieve a tangible military advantage, and in that way break the existing security architecture and balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region,” Putin said Tuesday in a televised videoconference with defense chiefs. “We will continue to strengthen our navy, including its strategic nuclear component.”The drills codenamed “Ocean” will continue until Sept. 16 and involve more than 400 vessels including warships, submarines and support vessels, as well as more than 120 naval aircraft and in excess of 90,000 personnel, the Russian Defense Ministry said on its Telegram channel. They’ll take place in the Pacific and Arctic oceans, and the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic seas, it said. The ministry didn’t list the Black Sea among the locations, where its warships have been the target of repeated attacks by Ukrainian drones in recent months.The “Ocean” codename is the same as that used in the 1970s and 1980s for the biggest combat drills carried out by the Soviet Union’s navy in the period after World War II, according to the ministry. Four Chinese warships and a logistics vessel have also joined Russian ships off the Sea of Japan for exercises, the ministry said.Moscow and Beijing have been intensifying economic and military cooperation since the start of the Kremlin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, a partnership that prompted NATO to label China as a “decisive enabler” of the war effort.
