12.09.2024
As part of the Ocean 2024 strategic command post exercise in the eastern Arctic Ocean, the Northern Fleet's expeditionary force conducted a training exercise to repel a mock air attack.
During the practical actions, the forces trained to organise air defence for a detachment of ships near the Northern Sea Route amid the threat of strikes by mock cruise missiles.
The large anti-submarine ship Vice Admiral Kulakov used Kinzhal air defence and AK-630 artillery systems to conduct missile and artillery live-fire launches at a simulated air enemy.
The detachment includes the large anti-submarine ship Vice Admiral Kulakov, from which the forces are controlled, the large landing ship Aleksandr Otrakovsky, the rescue tugboat Altay, and the tanker Sergei Osipov.
The Ocean 2024 exercise includes organising protection for maritime economic activities and strategic communications, as well as for bases, taking into account the modern maritime warfare.
The Northern Fleet forces operate in the western and eastern Arctic maritime zones, where they perform tasks in accordance with their primary purpose.
More than 400 warships, submarines and support vessels, over 120 naval aircraft, some 7,000 units of weaponry, military and special hardware, and more than 90,000 personnel participate in the drills, which take place in the waters of the Pacific and Arctic oceans, Mediterranean, Caspian, and Baltic seas.
The Ocean 2024 strategic command post exercise is aimed at checking the readiness of the senior staff of the Russian Navy to operate all-arms groups of forces in the areas of responsibility, to solve non-standard operational tasks, to make full use of high-precision weapons, advanced and modern weapons and military hardware in the practical part of the exercise, and to expand cooperation with the navies of partner countries to perform joint maritime missions.
