The crew of the Russian Pacific Fleet's Varyag missile cruiser carried out exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, as reported by the press service of the Pacific Fleet on Thursday.
Footage shows the warship's crew engaging in firing exercises while utilizing a smoke screen to conceal their maneuvers.
"Reinforcement groups practised to efficiently assign targets to guarantee their defeat under a massive attack by Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). The ship's conventional Kord and Utes large-calibre machine guns were involved to conduct fire at simulated targets," the press service said.
During the exercises, the servicemen destroyed a floating sea mine and repelled simulated attacks from an 'enemy' ship using the AK-130 and AK-630 artillery systems.
"[Servicemen] improved practical skills on the Pacific Fleet's flagship to defend against the means of air attack of a mock enemy by performing artillery firing at an aerial target and conditional use of the Fort anti-aircraft missile system," the press service added.
Additionally, the crew engaged in search, classification, and tracking of a mock enemy submarine, destroying the simulated target utilising the RBU-6000 reaction engine-bomb installation and the ship's torpedo armament.
