Chinese warships entered British waters on their way to Russia

Chinese warships transited British territorial waters on their way to Russia.

The last time this happened was in 2019, according to the British Navy, SkyNews reports.

The British frigate HMS Richmond monitored the transit of Chinese ships. PRC ships passed through British territory twice within three weeks.

The British warship watched the Chinese destroyer Jiaozuo and supply ship Honghu as they made their journey across the North Sea and into the English Channel.

A French warship and a Belgian Navy patrol ship also shared the task of monitoring Chinese vessels.

The two Chinese ships initially passed through British waters on their way to St Petersburg to take part in the annual “Russian Navy Day” at the end of July. After a couple of weeks, they came back.

USM previously reported that Russia begged not to attack its military facilities on Navy Day.
