The maneuvers will continue through Sept. 16, the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian President Vladimir Putin said in comments to military officials that the war games are the largest of their kind in three decades, and that China\u2019s warships and planes were taking part. China <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/china-russia-drills-military-pacific-72ece848adec1684326f12b6d03183fe\" target=\"_blank\">confirmed that on Monday<\/a>, saying the two countries\u2019 navies would cruise together in Pacific, but gave no details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of 15 countries have been invited to observe the drills, Putin said, without naming them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe pay special attention to strengthening military cooperation with friendly states. Today, in the context of growing geopolitical tensions in the world, this is especially important,\u201d Putin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian leader accused the United States of \u201ctrying to maintain its global military and political dominance at any cost,&#8221; seeking \u201cto inflict a strategic defeat\u201d on Russia in its war with Ukraine and to \u201cbreak the established security architecture and balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnder the pretext of countering the allegedly existing Russian threat and containing the People\u2019s Republic of China, the United States and its satellites are increasing their military presence near Russia\u2019s western borders, in the Arctic and in the Asia-Pacific region,\u201d Putin said, stressing that \u201cRussia must be prepared for any development of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia and China, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/mideast-africa\/2024\/09\/03\/as-iran-threatens-israel-tehrans-missile-program-remains-in-question\/\" target=\"_blank\">other U.S. critics such as Iran,<\/a> have aligned their foreign policies to challenge and potentially overturn the Western-led liberal democratic order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With joint exercises, Russia has sought Chinese help in achieving its long-cherished aim of becoming a Pacific power, while Moscow has backed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2024\/06\/26\/philippines-seeking-call-with-china-over-emerging-sierra-madre-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\">China\u2019s territorial claims in the South China Sea<\/a> and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s Defense Minister Andrei Belousov said the drills are aimed to train \u201crepelling large-scale aggression of a potential enemy from ocean directions, combating unmanned boats, unmanned aerial vehicles, defending naval bases, conducting amphibious operations and escorting transports.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin said the war games, which span both hemispheres, are the largest of their kind in three
