-It is just a military exercise, that's all.
I personaly don't see it as being any signal as a threat or something.
But, yes if someone has more pictures or info, it would be nice.

-It involves 10000 active troops from both China and russia.
some ships from the pacific fleet
1 sovernmenny
1 Udaloy
1 Amphib landing ship
some Su27SM
2 A-50 awacs

Tu-22
Not quite sure what the chinese are sending but media have been hinting that Chinese are familiar with most equipement and that it would involve similar equipement on both sides. So I guess the chinese would sent out their counterparts for this exercise

-I was watching the news yesterday and I think some people just taking this exercise between China and Russia too seriously, just because one Communist country and one ex.Communist country conduct a military exercise dosen't mean its a threat. Anyway, I saw some Russian ships firing rockets and fancy maneuvre by air force jets, it was impressice.

SOCHI, August 22 (RIA Novosti) - President Vladimir Putin said the money spent on Armed Forces war games was justified. "The number of war games conducted in the army, the fleet, and aviation" is impressive, the Russian president told the crews of two strategic bombers, a refueling aircraft, and the commander of the Yakaterinburg submarine that took part in the recent long-range aviation training of the Air Force and the Northern Fleet.
Putin said large-scale exercises with the air force, navy, and land-based troops were being conducted in the Far East along with exercises in southern and northern Russia.
"The training is very intensive, but it is all worth the money," he said. "The country needs it."
The president also spoke about the current joint exercises of the Northern and Baltic Fleets, adding that exercises of this kind and scale had not been held in Russia for more than 20 years.

Any info, pics or opinion about the Russo-Chinese war games going on at the moment?
Western media seems pretty convinced that this is a signal to the US and its hemogony of world politics ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4162054.stm )- what do you guys think?
Some pics would be much appreciated if anyone can dig some up somewhere... I'm too lazy.
