China’s PLA offers details on live-fire Pacific drills led by Type 055 destroyer Zunyi
The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has released details about recent live-fire drills in the Pacific Ocean, focusing on aerial and maritime threats. These drills emphasized coordination, resupply operations, and joint operational capabilities, according to the PLA Navy.
This announcement follows closely after PLA Navy drills in the Tasman Sea, which put Australia and New Zealand on alert and led to flight diversions and naval monitoring. The naval task group, led by the destroyer Zunyi and including the frigate Hengyang and replenishment vessel Weishanhu, reportedly conducted exercises over several days in challenging sea conditions, training in command execution, weapons operation, and coordinated maneuvers. While the exact location and timing weren't specified, vessel names match those involved in the previous drills that sparked diplomatic tensions.
