The Russian navy launched a large-scale exercise involving its fleets in the Arctic, Pacific, Baltic, and Caspian seas. The combat training aims to test the readiness of the military authorities, ship crews, naval aviation units, and coastal troops of the Russian navy in carrying out various tasks.
Key Details of the Maneuver
Approximately 20,000 sailors, 300 surface and submarine vessels, and 50 aircraft are participating in the training. The exercise will focus on practicing techniques such as using anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine weapons. The Black Sea Fleet, currently involved in the conflict in Ukraine, is the only division not taking part in the maneuver.
Russia’s navy, considered the third most powerful globally, aims to enhance its capabilities and address challenges faced in modern warfare, particularly in adapting to drone technology. Recent losses and strategic setbacks in the Black Sea region have prompted leadership changes and operational adjustments within the fleet.
