The Japanese Ministry of Defense's Unified Staff Department reported that on the afternoon of the 22nd, the Sino-Russian naval joint formation sailed into the East China Sea through the Osumi Strait, which is also the first time that the Japanese Ministry of Defense has confirmed that the ships of the Chinese and Russian navies pass through the Osumi Strait at the same time. Subsequently, on the 23rd, Chinese and Russian media reported that the Sino-Russian joint cruise had ended and the fleet had been divided. It is worth noting that during the voyage around Japan by the Sino-Russian combined fleet, the Japanese politicians who had originally jumped up and down and wantonly stirred up anti-China sentiment among the Japanese people stopped beating their breath, and the Japanese government and the opposition could do nothing in the Sino-Russian joint circumvention of Japan, and could only divert the attention of the Japanese people as much as possible.

On October 17, the Sino-Russian "Maritime Joint-2021 Military Exercise" was successfully concluded after four days, but after the military exercise, the Chinese and Russian participating ships did not return to their home ports at the first time, but carried out an unprecedented maritime strategic cruise. The Sino-Russian joint formation is basically the same as the formation of the previous Joint Maritime 2021 military exercise, except that China's submarine support ships were not involved, and Russia added a survey ship or electronic reconnaissance ship Marshal Krylov, and a Dreadnought-class anti-submarine ship.
The Sino-Russian combined fleet consists of ten surface ships, the Type 055 destroyer Nanchang with a full load displacement of 13,000 tons, the Type 052D guided missile destroyer Kunming with a full load displacement of 7100 tons, and two Type 054A frigates with a full load displacement of 4,000 tons. A Type 903 integrated supply ship with a full displacement of 25,000 tons, while the Russian Navy dispatched Marshal Krylov with a full load displacement of 29,000 tons, two 8,000-ton Dreadnought-class anti-submarine ships, and two 2,000-ton Type 20380 frigates. The total displacement of the Sino-Russian combined fleet is as high as 119,000 tons, which is already comparable to half a common unit of measurement.
The maritime formation departed from Ussuri Bay and crossed the Tsugaru Strait between the Japanese islands of Honshu and Hokkaido on the 18th, the Sino-Russian combined fleet passed through the Ogasawara Islands on the 21st, and on the afternoon of October 22, the Sino-Russian combined fleet passed through the Osumi Strait in Japan. Moreover, the Chinese surface ship formation had also previously passed through the Tsushima Strait to go north to Russia, and the Russian surface ship formation after the Separation from the Chinese fleet had a high probability of choosing to pass through the Strait of Malaysia when it returned home. For Japan, the Sino-Russian combined fleet is to draw a map for Japan around Japan's territorial waters, and the warning is very strong. For China and Russia, which have been deeply harassed by Japan, the joint cruise of the Chinese and Russian fleets is a solid blow, and for the Japanese authorities, this news can be described as terrible.
But so what? The Tsugaru Strait, Munakata Strait, Tsushima Strait, Osumi Strait and other straits have a minimum width of less than 12 nautical miles, which is an international waterway specially planned in the "Territorial Sea and Contiguous Waters Law" formulated by Japan. It did not touch the territorial waters of other countries, so the Chinese and Russian navies did not target third countries in this operation. Don't think too much about a country
You really listen, in fact, the intention of the Sino-Russian joint cruise is the same as the intention of the United States to jump into the Black Sea, Ussuri Bay and near the islands and reefs of the South China Sea, once the war breaks out, before Japan surrenders, the Chinese and Russian fleets cannot pass through Japan's special territorial waters so smoothly, but the same once the war breaks out, the United States has to go around the first island chain, crossing sensitive waters during non-war times is itself a kind of warning demonstration and knocking, the United States provoking China and Russia really shows the strength of the United States, and the Sino-Russian joint cruise is warning Japan. Knowing your position clearly, you can leave Asia and enter Europe, but Japan cannot move. The difficulty of hitting Japan is much lower than the difficulty of hitting the United States mainland. For the Japanese authorities, the sino-Russian joint warning can be seen as a coming, and Japan is much closer than the United States.

For the Japanese government, the Sino-Russian joint cruise can be described as a thunderbolt on a sunny day, with 100,000 tons of surface ships drawing maps around Japan! Draw a map all the way to the road to perform ah! Ship-based helicopter take-off and landing training, anti-submarine deep-aircraft fish training, so the Japanese media said that it is a "special case" for Chinese and Russian ships to make such a move.
And at noon on October 18, when the Sino-Russian combined fleet passed through the Tsugaru Strait, the photos of the Sino-Russian combined fleet passing through the Tsugaru Strait on the Internet were transmitted to China along the Internet, and the Japanese Ministry of Defense did not report the dynamics of the Chinese and Russian surface ships, until the evening of the 18th, the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the relevant developments, and the timeliness was not at all.
On October 21, when the Sino-Russian combined fleet passed through the Ogasawara Islands, the Japanese side simply could not pull out a new destroyer, and could only use the two destroyers of the Gaobo and Yamagami to track and monitor the Chinese and Russian fleets with the performance of the 054A half-pound destroyer.
The report itself is also a serious lag, Japanese netizens have exploded, and the expression that the Japanese authorities can do is only tracking and monitoring, which shows that the Japanese authorities are panicked about the Sino-Russian joint cruise, and even Japan may have been worried about the joint cruise of fishing and even Taiwan at that time, so after the Sino-Russian combined fleet returned to sail, the Japanese authorities should still be relieved.
But what will Japan decide next? If you continue to walk a road to black, the Chinese-Russian figure-8 cruise around Japan may not be impossible!
At the end of the article, it must be said that it is worthy of the royal photographer, and the photos taken by this double column formation are very good.
It is really mighty and domineering, and the momentum is majestic.
