On Friday we reported that for the first time in history, Chinese and Russian navies will begin a significant joint naval exercise in The Mediterranean Sea in mid-May.
Citied by RT, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said that "The aim is to deepen both countries' friendly and practical cooperation, and increase our navies' ability to jointly deal with maritime security threats," but diplomatically added "these exercises are not aimed at any third party and have nothing to do with the regional situation."
Against a background of this week's "upgraded Japan-American military relationship" following Abe's visit to Obama, as one analyst notes, "the geopolitical significance of its exercising alongside Russia will not be lost on the U.S. and NATO."

US sends warship to Yemen: What happens next?
Never autoplay videos
A U.S. aircraft carrier was dispatched to the waters off Yemen Monday to join other American ships prepared to block any Iranian weapons shipments to Shiite Houthi rebels fighting in Yemen.
A Navy official confirmed to Fox News that the USS Theodore Roosevelt -- along with her escort ship, the USS Normandy, a guided-missile cruiser -- left the Persian Gulf on Sunday en route for the Arabian Sea, to help enforce the blockade. A massive ship that carries F/A-18 fighter jets, the Roosevelt is seen more of a deterrent and show of force in the region.

In

T-14 ARMATA
The new battle tank on a platform armata ', which is being developed since 2009 in the factory Uralvagonzavod, can be compared with analogous Western models, and in some parameters is superior. Apparently has a main dome of the remote control, equipped with a new gun with a caliber of 125 mm, has a fully automated system for filling, part of the crew that is separate from the container for ammunition and multi-layered composite armor protection. Officially tested should go in 2016, and Uralvagonzavod hopes that by 2020 Provide Army with more than 2,300 of these tanks.

India to Buy 36 Rafale Jets from France
By Manu Pubby, ET Bureau | 11 Apr, 2015, 01.00AM IST
NEW DELHI: After a series of twists and turns almost befitting its size, the multi-billion dollar deal for new fighter jets for the Indian Air Force has hit the last mile with a firm political push by the NDA government to iron out differences and wrap up negotiations with an out-of-the-box solution to end a two-year-old deadlock. In the initial phase, 36 Rafale fighters will be bought off the shelf and negotiations will continue for manufacturing more in India at a later stage.
The reworked deal — buying 36 fighters outright with the option for more could be worth up to $7.5 billion — has the potential of pumping in over $2.3 billion into the Indian defence manufacturing sector, a major chunk of which will go to the private industry.
According to the understanding reached, the two sides agreed to conclude an Inter-Governmental Agreement for supply of the aircraft on terms that would be 'better than as conveyed by Dassault Aviation as part of a separate process underway'. This means that the 36 fighters are cheaper than offers made in the past by Dassault.
Buying fighters off the shelf means the delivery would be faster and would meet a time frame set by IAF that urgently needs the aircraft to fill operational gaps. The aircraft would be delivered on the same configuration as had been tested and approved by IAF during the 2007 tendering process. Sources said separate negotiations will continue at a ministerial level on manufacturing more fighters in India. The total requirement is for 126 fighters.
