The warships of the Pacific Fleet, together with naval aviation, are conducting exercises in the Central Pacific Ocean for the first time in recent history. On the air of Sputnik radio, the captain of the 1st rank of the reserve Mikhail Nenashev commented on the course of the exercises.

For the first time in recent history, warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet (TOF), with the support of aviation, are conducting exercises in the central Pacific Ocean, in an area located 2.5 thousand miles (about 4.6 thousand kilometers) southeast of the Kuril Islands.

Up to 20 warships, submarines and support vessels were involved in the exercises. The maneuvers involved anti-submarine aircraft of the Tu-142M3 naval aviation, IL-38 aircraft, MiG-31BM interceptor fighters, IL-78 tanker aircraft and Ka-27 deck helicopters.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the tasks of destroying an aircraft carrier strike group of a simulated enemy have already been worked out, as well as a simulated cruise missile strike on its ground objects.

On the air of Sputnik radio, the chairman of the All-Russian Fleet Support Movement, captain of the 1st rank of the reserve Mikhail Nenashev called the exercises unique.

"Two dozen ships are involved in the exercises, including our famous missile cruiser Varyag and the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov. These are serious ships, armed with a new type of weapon, and they worked out tasks at a great distance. And taking into account the participation of anti-submarine and strategic aviation, submarine forces-the exercises are simply unique. We show that the navy is capable of solving tasks in the ocean areas to maintain the interests of defense and security of our country. If you look at the map, it's not far from the polygons, the ocean territories that the United States always dominates. Therefore, our ships and naval anti-submarine aircraft are always in this area. The Pacific Fleet is represented in those regions where threats from sea and ocean directions can form, " Mikhail Nenashev said.
