A Russian warship armed with hypersonic cruise weapons will take
part in joint exercises with the Chinese and South African navies in
February, Russia’s state-owned Tass news agency reports quoting a
military source.
It was the first official mention of the participation by the frigate,
“Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov,” which is armed
with Zircon missiles, the Reuters news agency adds.
On Thursday South Africa’s military announced it would next month
hold joint military drills with Russia and China off its coast.
The drills will run for 10 days from 17 February to 27 February in the
port city of Durban and Richards Bay.
The aim is to share operational skills and knowledge, the South African
National Defence Force said.
