The Russian Navy’s large landing ship, Admiral Nevelskoy, conducted artillery firing drills in the Sea of Japan, Russian news agency Interfax reported on Monday, citing the press service of the Pacific Fleet.
During the exercise, the crew tested air defense capabilities by conducting artillery firing at a simulated air target. Additionally, the crew fired large-caliber machine guns at small, maneuverable targets simulating unmanned boats of a mock enemy.
These exercises were part of the planned combat training activities of the Russian Pacific Fleet, according to the press service.
