A detachment of ships from the Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet carried out a large-scale naval exercise in the Indian Ocean, involving combat maneuvers, live artillery fire, and coordinated anti-submarine actions.<br /><br />The operation included the participation of the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, the corvette Gremyashchiy, and the tanker Boris Butoma, which provided logistical support throughout the mission.<br /><br />During the training, the crews performed tactical maneuvers aimed at neutralizing simulated enemy surface vessels. To achieve this, they conducted artillery live-fire drills using A-190 and AK-630M systems against maritime targets in a scenario that simulated direct confrontation.<br /><br />In another stage of the exercise, the crews of the Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate and the Gremyashchiy corvette carried out a coordinated search for a simulated enemy submarine. After detecting the submerged target, the units practiced pursuit tactics designed to force the submarine to surface.<br /><br />The teams also trained to counter attacks by unmanned boats and hostile drones, in addition to carrying out damage-control and onboard survivability procedures.<br /><br />The exercise reinforces the Pacific Fleet’s ability to operate in an integrated manner in complex, high-intensity scenarios, enhancing preparedness for defense missions and naval power projection in distant waters.<br /><br />Source and images: Telegram @mod_russia.
