MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Warships from Russia’s Baltic Fleet are preparing to enter the open seas for rocket, artillery, and torpedo exercises, the Russian Defense Ministry’s Western Military District’s press service said Monday.
“Ships from the Baltic Fleet joined together in several tactical groupings will complete tasks, including anti-ship and anti-air defense, as well as minesweeping support,” the press service said.
