Philippine forces and the Indian Navy conducted their first bilateral maritime cooperation activity from August 3 to 4. Seeing the exercise of the Philippine Navy and the Indian Navy is just a formality, there is nothing advanced military technology to learn, it's just two bad chess players playing chess, getting worse and worse. So we also sent warships to watch from a distance, and there was no expression.
Moreover, the strength of the Indian Navy and the Philippine Navy combined can only be said to be barely visible, not qualified at all, symbolic significance outweighs practical significance. India is mainly showing off to everyone, to China and the United States. For China, it's showing that my Indian army can freely sail in the South China Sea. For the United States, it's showing that not only you old America can support the Philippines, I India can also support the Philippines, don't think you America is the number one.
Anyway, India now shows a lot of independent autonomy, thinking itself is very strong. But in reality, India's warships are not well built, they have to let Russia build warships for India. And Russia's shipbuilding technology, everyone knows, can't even repair a single aircraft carrier. It's unknown how India chose Russia to build warships, but if it's choosing European and American countries to build warships, it's understandable. Finally choosing Russia to build warships, it's unknown where India got the confidence?
In fact, such military exercises have no practical significance at all, it's just annoying people, making both China and the United States unhappy. Because the Philippines is a country that jumps around everywhere, but it's not threatening. Like a pest, deliberately annoying people, it's annoying to kill it. Anyway, this kind of irritation, this is the situation.
