Northern Fleet's ships have exercise using high-precision missile weapons in Atlantic Ocean

11.06.2024

A combined tactical surface action group of the Northern Fleet made up of the Project 885M multi-role nuclear submarine cruiser Kazan and frigate Admiral Gorshkov carrying out long-distance missions, started an exercise on the use of high-precision missile weapons in the Atlantic Ocean.

As part of the exercise, the frigate and nuclear-powered submarine missile cruiser practise the use of high-precision missile weapons by computer-based maritime simulation at targets indicating the ship-based groupings of a mock enemy and located at a distance of more than 600 kilometres.

A few days before, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov which is carrying out long-distance voyage to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Northern Fleet detachment conducted a training exercise to repel an air attack.

As part of the exercise, the crews practised interaction of command posts and combat posts, and launching attacks with AK-192M naval artillery systems and Palash surface-to-air missile and artillery system against simulated air targets.
