"The ship’s
crew practiced repelling a simulated enemy’s air attacks and using
artillery guns and air defense missile systems to hit simulated aerial
targets," the spokesman said.
According to Serga, the ship passed several days in the Barents Sea. During
this period, the ship’s crew practiced cohesion with antisubmarine
warfare planes of the Northern Fleet’s 45th Air and Air Defense
Army to carry out combat training exercises using radars.
The aircraft carrier also practiced joint maneuvering with ships of Russia’s
Kola Flotilla.
