(Russian Ministry of Defence).\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">According to Monday&#8217;s report from a Russian news agency, a Russian frigate armed with hypersonic weapons will exercise off Africa coast with South African and Chinese navies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">The South African armed forces will be engaged in combat with the Russian, Chinese and Japanese navies. &#8220;a multinational maritime exercise&#8221; The South African Department of Defence announced Thursday that South Africa&#8217;s east coast is open for business from February 17 to 27 near Durban and Richards Bay.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">According to a Russian news agency TASS, the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov carrying Zircon hypersonic rockets will resupply at Tartus in Syria before joining the drills.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">They fly at nine times faster than sound and have a range of over 620 miles. According to a Reuters Monday report, the missiles form the backbone of the hypersonic arsenal.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">This exercise is geared towards strengthening \u201calready flourishing\u201d According to the South African statement relations between these three nations will be the second with South Africa&#8217;s countries after a drill that took place in 2019.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">This exercise will be held one year after Russia invaded Ukraine. South Africa did not vote in the United Nations&#8217; condemnation of the invasion last year.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">South Africa has strong ties to Russia as a result of the Soviet Union&#8217;s support for the African National Congress (now the ruling party), while fighting to end apartheid that denied South African Blacks rights.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">According to TASS, Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, is visiting Pretoria this week to meet with Naledi Panor (South African counterpart),\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">The naval drills will take place &#8220;transparent&#8221; Lavrov stated Monday that they would adhere to international law. This was according to a TASS report Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">&#8220;Three sovereign countries will hold drills without violating international law, and I don&#8217;t understand with whom this can cause a mixed reaction,&#8221; According to the report, he said that.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">According to a White House transcript, Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, stated Monday that the U.S. is concerned about Russia&#8217;s actions while Russia wage war on Ukraine.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">\u201cWe&#8217;ve been consistent on this. Of course, every participating country will make their own decision,\u201d She said. \u201cBut again, we&#8217;ve said this before, we do have concerns.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">Jean-Pierre said Washington made its views clear to Pretoria: &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any conversations to read out, but we&#8217;ve been very, very consistent.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">The drills serve a political purpose by sending the message that Russia is not as isolated as the West would like, according to James Brown, an international affairs expert at Temple University\u2019s Japan campus.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">\u201cIn involving China and South Africa, they are also a reminder of the existence of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) grouping, which Moscow hopes will develop into a counterweight to the West,\u201d He said this in an email on Monday.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">Brown stated that the drills have no military value.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyline-p f4\">\u201cChina has already made it very clear that it will not directly assist Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine,\u201d He said. \u201cSouth Africa certainly is not in a position to do so. If anything, sending military assets to southern Africa at this time is a distraction for Russia&#8217;s overstretched military.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov will train off South Africa&#8217;s coast with the South African &#038; Chinese navies, February 17-27 2023.
