The China-Russia Joint Sea-2015 (II) exercise from Aug 20 to 28 involved more than 20 vessels, dozens of pieces of amphibious equipment and more than 400 marines, who completed joint beach landings, anti-submarine combat and air defense among other exercises.

Liu Xueda has been working on the destroyer Shenyang for seven years and participated in China-Russia drills in 2013 and 2014.

"Such drills help us keep vigilant and always prepared for wars," Liu said.
