More lies. Both Russia and China have stated that no talks on military assistance between the countries take place.
I have no idea what sort of assistance it could be because the equipment used by both countries is different enough.

They do have common equipment.
Notably their artillery systems and aircraft are very compatible.

China uses lots of 122mm and 220mm rocket systems, and 122mm and 152mm guns, all compatible. Some of these have recently begun to be replaced with newer versions, but doubtless China has enormous stocks of ammunition for the Soviet-era weapons.

The Chinese maintain SU-27 and derivative systems in large numbers, they have the same engines, indeed the Russians supply the Chinese with engines for these, and their weapons are also similar. I don’t doubt that air to ground weapons are largely compatible.

And then there are general equipment categories like military trucks, which seem to be running out on the Ukraine front.

I agree. This is just western disinformation to give the appearance of a split between China and Russia.

And first of all, their two weapons systems are totally different. What is China going to give Russia? Rifles in a different caliber? Chinese jets that are wholly incompatible with Russian aviation? This is a joke.

What China is going to “give” Russia is a ready market for their oil, grain, nickel etc. Paid in contracts denominated in Yuan.

Imagine china providing rice buckets for the Russians to eat. Once china takes over Russia the soldiers will be used to eating them.
Besides eating china meals will give the Russians the shits and keep them busy.
