Ocean 2024 CPX: Baltic Fleet's surface action group in Lake Ladoga conducts electronic launches of Kalibr missiles against mock warships and coastal military infrastructure
12.09.2024
A surface action group made up of the small missile ships Grad and Naro-Fominsk carried out electronic missile launches against targets simulating a detachment of warships and coastal military infrastructure of a mock enemy in Lake Ladoga within the framework of the Ocean 2024 CPX.
The exercise was carried out in a complex jamming environment, which was artificially created to make the task more difficult for the surface action group.
During the manoeuvres, the ships trained exercises to perform various types of electronic radio jamming.
According the training plan of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, formations and units of the Russian Navy have started taking part in the Ocean 2024 strategic command post exercise, which is to last until 16 September 2024. The exercise, which is one of the most important operational and combat training events of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2024, is to be conducted in a bilateral format under the overall command of Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
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.
