Russia flexes naval muscle, conducts tactical anti-submarine exercises in Baltic Sea

Moscow, May 17 (UNI) Flexing its military muscles, the Russian Navy conducted tactical drills in the Baltic Sea, with anti-submarine ships from its Baltic Fleet partaking in search and destroy exercises. The drills were part of a broader effort to enhance the fleet’s readiness in coastal defence and near-sea operations.
"The crews of the small anti-submarine ships (MPK) Zelenodolsk and Kazanets of the Baltic Fleet conducted a tactical exercise in the marine combat training grounds in the Baltic Sea to search for and destroy submarines of a simulated enemy with the simulated use of anti-submarine weapons systems," the fleet said, according to Russia’s state-owned-media, RIA Novosti.
The exercise featured coordinated submarine-hunting manoeuvres, simulated torpedo attacks, depth charge deployments, and the neutralisation of unmanned kamikaze surface craft.
