Russian anti-surface destroyer Bystry arrives at a naval port in Shanghai, east China, May 18, 2014. Six ships from the Russian Pacific Fleet will take part in the "Joint Sea-2014" drill in the northern part of the East China Sea between May 20 and 26. A total of 14 surface ships, two submarines, nine fixed-wing warplanes, six shipboard helicopters and two operational detachment-alphas (ODAs) have rallied in Shanghai on Sunday. This will be the third such exercise after joint drills off the coast of Russia's Far East in July 2013 and the Yellow Sea in April 2012. (Xinhua/Zha Chunming)
