Ocean 2024 CPX: Pacific Fleet ships hit target-missile of mock enemy by air defence missiles and artillery
12.09.2024
According to the training plan, a missile boat from Primorye Flotilla (Pacific Fleet) launched a Moskit target-missile in the interests of a detachment of ships operating in the Sea of Japan.
Two corvettes of the Pacific Fleet operating as part of the task force timely detected the target missile being launched, and locked on it, and Redut surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems eliminated the supersonic target at a safe distance from the ships. A-190 artillery systems launched fire simultaneously with the SAM system against the target. As part of the exercise episode, the ships used passive jamming systems.
The missile firing area was closed to civilian navigation. More than 15 warships and auxiliary vessels of the Pacific Fleet ensured safety of the live-fire drills.
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.
