Pacific Fleet's destroyer detachment undergoes joint maneuvering drills in South China Sea waters
13.10.2023
The Pacific Fleet's destroyer detachment, including ships Admiral Tributs and Admiral Panteleev, continues to perform tasks in the Asia-Pacific region.
Shortly before the drills, the Pacific Fleet ships crossed the Philippine Sea and entered the waters of the South China Sea.
Currently, destroyers undergo joint manoeuvring exercises in the northern region of the South China Sea with shipboard air defence drills, search for mock enemy submarines, and interact with the Pacific Fleet's naval aviation Ka-27 helicopters.
The Pacific Fleet's destroyer detachment performs tasks in the Asia-Pacific region under the Fleet's combat training plan.
The purpose of the long-distance sea voyage is to demonstrate the Naval Flag of the Russian Federation in the region, develop, and strengthen friendly relations with foreign countries, as well as popularise the Russian Navy.
