HOSTILE RUSSIAN & CHINESE WARSHIPS CONDUCT JOINT WAR EXERCISES IN U.S WATERS OFF THE COAST OF ALASKA
The 11 Chinese and Russian warships near Alaska is further evidence of deepening military cooperation between the two countries.
A group of 11 Chinese and Russian navy vessels recently sailed near Alaska's Aleutian Islands in a display of cooperative force. Although those ships never entered U.S. territorial waters, they were shadowed by four U.S. Navy destroyers and a P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol plane.
The joint patrol, which is the largest to venture near Alaska, is the latest example of China and Russia's deepening military cooperation that is increasingly focused on the U.S. and its allies in the Pacific region. It has also bolstered calls for a permanent U.S. naval base in Alaska.
U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan (both R-Alaska) confirmed on Saturday that the joint Chinese and Russian flotilla of ships patrolled near the Alaskan coast last week. Although the location of where the ships sailed, near the Aleutian island chain in the Pacific, is known, it is unclear at present when precisely this occurred.
The joint task force of Chinese and Russian warships left Vladivostok on July 27. It is unclear if the patrol is still ongoing in the Pacific at present, although the ships now appear to have moved away from Alaska.
“We have been in close contact with leadership from Alaska Command for several days now and received detailed classified briefings about the foreign vessels that are transiting U.S. waters in the Aleutians,” Senator Murkowski stated over the weekend. “This is a stark reminder of Alaska’s proximity to both China and Russia, as well as the essential role our state plays in our national defense and territorial sovereignty.”
The precise identities of the 11 Chinese and Russian ships highlighted by the senators have not been released by U.S. officials. However, the task force of 10 ships that left Vladivostok in late July constituted a number of different vessel classes. According to USNI News, the Russian Navy’s portion of the force comprised the Udaloy class destroyers Admiral Panteleyev and Admiral Tributs, the Gremyashchiy class corvette by the same name, the Steregushchiy class corvette Aldar Tsydenzhapov, and the fleet tanker Pechenga.

On the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) side, the Type 052D destroyers Guiyang and Qiqihar, the Type 054A frigates Zaozhuang and Rizhao, and the fleet oiler Taihu, were present.
