KALININGRAD, April
16. /TASS/. Several naval task forces of Russia’s Baltic Fleet have set out to
the sea for tactical drills as part of a controlling check of their winter
training period, the Fleet’s press office told TASS on Tuesday.
"At the Fleet’s
combat training ranges in the Baltic Sea, the naval hunter-killer groups and
attack forces comprising corvettes and anti-submarine warfare ships will
conduct a set of drills to provide anti-submarine warfare support for deploying
the Fleet’s amphibious assault forces and deliver notional missile strikes
against a simulated enemy’s warships," Fleet Spokesman Roman Martov said.
The drills involve
about ten combat ships and vessels, including the Project 20380 corvettes Boiky
and Stoiky, the large amphibious assault ships Minsk and Korolyov, the small
anti-submarine warfare ship Kabardino-Balkaria, the air cushion landing boats
Denis Davydov, Michman Lermontov and Rimsky-Korsakov," the spokesman
specified.
"During the
planned sorties to the sea, the warships’ crews will enhance their skills in
searching for and destroying a notional submarine, conducting electronic
launches of missiles and repelling a massive air attack," Martov noted.
Marine troops landing
onto the rough terrain on the territory of the Baltic Fleet’s Khmelyovka practice
range will be a major stage of the controlling check, the spokesman said.
