Russian Navy conducts tactical missile drill in Barents Sea
MOSCOW, April 23 (RIA Novosti) -- The nuclear powered missile cruiser Pyotr
Velikiy of Russia's Northern Fleet has completed a missile firing exercise in
the Barents Sea, a Navy spokesman said on Wednesday.
"The live fire exercise was carried out as part of a tactical drill at a test
site in the Barents Sea," Capt. 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said.
He said, in particular, the battle-cruiser had successfully engaged a mock
target launched from the missile ship Rassvet.
The cruiser also repulsed a mock air attack with an onboard antiaircraft
complex.
Dygalo said Pyotr Velikiy's operations in the Barents Sea were ensured by
Northern Fleet warships and support vessels.
