Russian and Chinese navies practice destroying 'enemy submarine', days after Trump move
By Mark Trevelyan (Reuters) -The Russian and Chinese navies have practiced hunting and destroying an enemy submarine in the Sea of Japan, Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday, days after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had moved two U.S. nuclear subs closer to Russia. Russia said the exercise involved Chinese Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft and Il-38 planes from Russia's Pacific Fleet, as well as helicopter crews. "As a result of effective joint actions, the 'enemy' submarine was promptly detected and mock-destroyed," the defence ministry said. "After practicing anti-submarine tasks, the crews of the Russian and Chinese ships thanked each other for their fruitful work." Trump said his submarine order last Friday was made in response to what he called "highly provocative" remarks by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev about the risk of war between the nuclear-armed adversaries. The Kremlin this week played down the significance of Trump's announcement, saying U.S. submarines are on constant combat duty anyway, and said that "everyone should be very, very careful with nuclear rhetoric". The episode came at a delicate moment, with Trump threatening to impose new sanctions on Russia and buyers of its oil, including India and China, unless President Vladimir Putin agrees by Friday to end the 3-1/2-year war in Ukraine. The anti-submarine exercise was part of a wider series of Russian-Chinese naval drills over the past week. The two countries, which signed a "no-limits" strategic partnership shortly before Russia went to war in Ukraine in 2022, conduct regular military exercises to rehearse coordination between their armed forces and send a deterrent signal to adversaries.

Russia, China practice destroying 'enemy' submarine in naval drill after Trump moves US nuclear assets
The Russian and Chinese militaries practiced destroying an "enemy" submarine during joint naval drills Wednesday, just days after President Donald Trump moved a pair of nuclear submarines toward Russia, a report said. The drills involved Il-38 planes from Russia's Pacific Fleet and Chinese Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, according to Reuters, and came after Trump announced last Friday that he "ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions" following "highly provocative statements" made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. "As a result of effective joint actions, the 'enemy' submarine was promptly detected and mock-destroyed," Russia's defense ministry said Wednesday following the naval exercises in the Sea of Japan, Reuters reported. "After practicing anti-submarine tasks, the crews of the Russian and Chinese ships thanked each other for their fruitful work." The White House and State Department did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. White House envoy Steve Witkoff is preparing for a trip to Russia on Wednesday, two days ahead of Trump's Aug. 8 deadline for Moscow to enter into a ceasefire with Ukraine or face stiff sanctions. On Sunday, Trump told reporters that nuclear submarines he ordered to counter Russia are now "in the region." Medvedev said earlier last week that Trump's new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine is an additional "step towards war." "Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump then said in a post on Truth Social on Friday. "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances," he added.
