Russia has no intention of participating in the naval arms race

Nikolay Patrushev noted the 'increasing competition' between the United States and China in the naval sector.

With one of the strongest naval fleets in the world, Russia does not need to engage in a naval arms race, Nikolay Patrushev, the presidential assistant and chairman of the Russian Maritime Committee, said in an interview with the newspaper Kommersant.

'We do not plan to engage in a maritime arms race,' he said.

However, Patrushev noted the 'increasing competition' between the United States and China in the naval sector.

'In any case, the shipbuilding plans and programs that Beijing is implementing are much larger than those of the U.S. For our fleet, the Russian Navy is one of the strongest forces in the world in terms of overall strength, and our sailors always demonstrate fighting spirit through skill, not just relying on absolute numbers,' the presidential assistant added.
