The Liuzhou (573) Type 054A Frigate and Suqian (504) Type 056 Corvette of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) conducted a Joint Naval Exercise with the KRI Usman Harun Frigate (359) Bung Tomo class Frigate and KRI Halasan (630) Sampari class Missile Craft of the Indonesian Navy (IN) in the waters near the Indonesian Capital of Jakarta.
Imagine if the President Rodrigo Duterte did something similar like ask the Jose Rizal class Frigates of the Philippine Navy (PN) to conduct Naval Exercises with Frigates of the PLAN in Manila Bay?
