The Russian Defense Ministry intends to conduct a series of naval exercises, in which nuclear submarines of Project 885 "Yasen" will aim at targets hypersonic missiles "Zircon" installed on frigates of Project 22350 "Admiral Gorshkov".
As sources in the military department told Izvestia on Wednesday, December 16, exercises to test the interaction of the latest surface and submarine ships of the Russian Navy will take place next year and will be held as part of the combat training program of the Northern Fleet.
During the maneuvers, the submarines will detect a simulated enemy, and give instructions to the frigates to point "Zircons" at him and then launch missiles.
As the former commander of the submarine, Captain I rank Igor Kurdin, noted, the nuclear submarine remains hidden from the enemy after transmitting data to the frigates. Therefore, after the strike, its crew will be able to check whether the target is hit, and if necessary, it will strike again with its own weapons.
In turn, Russian frigates will cover submarines with long-range anti-aircraft missile systems. This group work will catch the enemy by surprise, destroying enemy ships in front of him, say experts In a range of "Zircon" and noiseless submarines of the "Ash" Russian sailors sending to the bottom of the enemy fleet, do not put yourself at risk.
