Makes sense to move this into its own thread. This is a thread about the free-flying telescope module. View: https://mobile.twitter.com/dr_guangtou/status/1384547267999322113 View: https://mobile.twitter.com/dr_guangtou/status/1384547272264925188 View...

The growth of the Soviet Navy was symbolised by Admiral Gorshkov and a global maritime exercise (Okean 70). I was wondering if any clue was emerging to Chinese naval doctrine?
