Alongside China, India Joins Russia’s Navy Day Parade In St Petersburg

MOSCOW, (IANS) – Over 200 naval vessels, including ships from the Indian, Chinese, and Algerian navies, took part in the traditional maritime parade in St Petersburg to mark Russia’s Navy Day on July 28.

President Vladimir Putin oversaw the parade, which takes place on the last Sunday of July.

Over 15,000 service members and vessels of various classes drawn from Russia’s Northern, Pacific, and Baltic fleets, the Caspian flotilla, as well as members of the naval force expedition in Syria, participated in the event. However, ships from the Black Sea Fleet were absent as they were engaged in active operations in the Ukraine conflict.

The Chinese Navy’s destroyer ‘Jiaozuo’ and replenishment ship ‘Honghu’, the Algerian Navy training ship ‘La Soummam’, and the Indian Navy’s Russia-made Talwar-class stealth frigate ‘Tabar’, also took part.

The naval parade was followed by a parade on land, which included cadets from several Russian naval institutions, as well as a detachment of marines.
