Russia’s
Baltic Fleet battleships and combat aircraft will take part in large-scale
tactical drills in the country’s westernmost enclave of Kaliningrad
on August 8 to land marines in rough terrain, the press office of the
Western Military District reported.
The drills will be held at the Baltic Fleet’s Khmelyovka firing
range ahead of the celebration of the Russian Air Force centennial on
August 12 and will involve 500 servicemen, warships, support vessels,
combat aircraft and gunships.
During the drills, Su-27 multi-role fighter jets will provide
air cover for the fleet’s battleships in the area of marine landing.
Su-24 Fencer tactical bombers will simulate the delivery of air strikes
on the ground targets of the potential enemy.
