The next couple of days the vessels, helicopters and airplanes will be conducting drills on search, detection, classification, tracking of submarines, as well as reactions against them using torpedoes and depth charges.
The exercise will also include artillery firing on land targets and anti-aircraft defense drills, the Defense Ministry’s web site reads.
The exercise in the Barents Sea comes only one week after three large landing ships from the Northern Fleet conducted shooting exercises at the Rybachii Peninsula, just a few kilometers from the Norwegian border.
