The Udaloy-class destroyer/ large anti-submarine ship, Admiral Tributs and the Boris Chilikin class fleet oiler, Boris Butoma, now docked in South Harbor Manila. This is the third Russian warship visit to the Philippines but is the first under Duterte’s administration.
“We’re very sure that in the future we’ll get such exercises with you, maybe just the maneuvering or maybe use some combat systems and so on,” Mikhailov told reporters.
Russian ships made trips to the Philippines in January 2012 and May 2016 and this week.
