The training of the first day involved long-range Tu-22 M3 bombers, Su-35 fighters, an Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft, five Navy ships, two submarines, as well as MiG-31K fighters, which are carriers of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles.

It is noted that all the tasks of the first day of the exercises were successfully completed, and the conditional targets were detected and destroyed.

On the eve of the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Russia for the first time sent two MiG-31K fighters, which are carriers of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, to the Khmeimim air base in Syria.
