MOSCOW, July 21 (Reuters) – Russian warships conducted training drills in the White Sea to convoy and defend a caravan of ships, state-run TASS news agency reported on Sunday, citing the Russian Defence Ministry, in what it said was routine combat training.
During the drills two small anti-submarine ships, the Onega and the Naryan-Mar, practiced organizing combat usage of weapons and radio-electronic warfare equipment in a scenario of a simultaneous attack from air and sea.
“The day before, the small anti-submarine ships Onega and Naryan-Mar carried out training and combat missions to repel an air attack by a conditional enemy,” TASS quoted a defense ministry statement as saying.
While training in air defense, the warships fired at simulated air targets from anti-aircraft missile systems and naval cannons, the agency added.
