The public sentiment surrounding the India-Philippines naval exercise is predominantly positive, reflecting strong gratitude and support for the military partnership aimed at countering Chinese aggression. Many commenters express camaraderie between the nations, but there exists some skepticism regarding the effectiveness and true intentions behind the exercise, particularly amidst concerns about U.S. influence.

This was published on August 1 and I didn't see any post regarding this in the sub even after searching so I thought to post it myself. 


Anyway, this is unacceptable and downright hostile. China has absolutely no right to tow away our ships while in our waters.

They recycled footage from their POV of[ this clash](https://youtu.be/JUpmd0yjs8Q) and did the classic movie magic of color grading to change the time of day (the one where movies add a blue-ish hue to simulate the dusk to night light).

I posted this earlier apparently this is the Chinese view of the Scarborough Scholl incident a few years back where a fillipino lost his thumb

I'm surprised that Russia still has a navy.

No-Sir3351

TIL Russia has a navy that can reach the Pacific 

Objective_Yellow_308

the russians and chinese don't have the best record historically for naval stuff, will be interesting to see any analysis that comes out of the excercises.

How can they spare any personnel for this? Gotta be quite a small exercise

Imagine if China Red Wedding’d Russia by taking out its whole remaining navy then launched a massive invasion of Russia telling Putin that Russia is so weak why wouldn’t they take free real estate

Hopefully they remove anything out of the environment if the front happens to fall off.   Best course of action, really, if waves hit them.

So the new axis of evil? Don't they need N Korea to complete the trinity?

With Russia, which says through the state media that no Ukrainians may remain alive?

India should join them now that Trump basically threw them under the bus

Far_Piglet_9596

Sure our attack boat subs are looking forward to some fun target practice

Heh, one of the world's newest navies learning from one of the worlds worst. What could go wrong...

monkeywithgun

C’mon top Redditors. China has the most modern destroyers and Cruisers of the 21st century. They will be soon on their nuclear Aircraft carrier. They can build destroyers and cruisers faster than the Americans can.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the purpose of these "exercises" ? I am guessing to show what they are capable of to the CCP?

India is Russia's major ally, they cannot be trusted.
