Earlier this week, China and Russia conducted an unprecedented joint naval drill near US waters, sparking a massive response from the US Navy. In an 'highly provocative' move amid rising tensions with the United States, eleven Russian and Chinese ships steamed near the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. It is believed to be the first such flotilla to have reached American shores. Last month, Admiral John Aquilino, the US Indo-Pacific Command's chief, reported that joint Russian and Chinese exercises have escalated.
