MURMANSK, August 15. /TASS/. The Russian Northern Fleet’s naval strike group comprising the destroyer Admiral Ushakov, the large anti-submarine warfare ships Vice-Admiral Kulakov and Severomorsk has held an artillery live-firing exercise in the Barents Sea, the fleet’s press office told TASS on Monday.
The warships delivered artillery fire against sea and defiladed coastal targets in the Barents Sea and on the shore of Kola Peninsula, the press office said.
"The live-firing exercise was held using the
warships’ main caliber - the 130mm artillery systems of the destroyer Admiral
Ushakov and the 100mm guns of the large anti-submarine warfare ships - against
installed sea and coastal targets," the press office said.
The naval strike group practiced issuing target
designation data jointly with aviation and the teams of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) of a separate motor rifle brigade within the fleet’s land and
coastal defense forces.
After the artillery live-firing, the naval strike force
continued accomplishing combat training missions in the Barents Sea.

practical torpedoes against the group’s ships from a designated depth and
distance," the press office said.
