Russia launches large-scale military drill involving over 40 vessels in Pacific Ocean

“In the course of practical training, task groups together with naval aviation will detect the notional enemy’s submarines, train air defense of tactical groups of ships, perform combat and training exercises involving surface and aerial targets and practice organizational issues related to the material and technical support of seaborne forces,” the Ministry said.

The exercises come as Russia's invasion of Ukraine entered its 100th day on June 3. (ILKHA)
