[Regnum] The nuclear submarine Kazan and the frigate Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov practiced the use of high-precision missile weapons in the Atlantic during the exercise, the Ministry of Defense reported on June 11. “The crews of a frigate and a nuclear submarine missile cruiser are practicing the use of high-precision missile weapons using computer modeling,” the department informed. The submarine and frigate Admiral Gorshkov used high-precision missile weapons as part of Northern Fleet maneuvers. During the exercises, strikes were made against naval targets at a distance of more than 600 km. The department added that Admiral Gorshkov several days ago conducted training to repel an air attack in the Atlantic Ocean. The frigate performed long-distance missions in the Atlantic Ocean as part of a detachment of ships of the Northern Fleet. As part of this training, the actions of combat crews and the interaction of command posts when firing with AK-192M artillery mounts and the Broadsword anti-aircraft missile artillery system at simulated air targets were practiced. As Regnum reported, in January 2023, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov carried out a strike with a Zircon hypersonic missile in the Atlantic. As part of a ship-based combat exercise to launch a missile strike against an enemy surface target, the frigate practiced the use of hypersonic weapons at a distance of more than 900 km. The launch efficiency was assessed as fully consistent with expectations. More from regnum.ru CBS News: The United States sent military vessels to monitor the visit of Russian ships to Cuba The United States of America sent its naval ships to monitor the visit of a group of Russian Navy ships to Cuba. “Although the United States does not view these exercises as a threat, American ships will be deployed to monitor Russian ships,” the statement said. One of the American officials, in a conversation with a TV channel correspondent, noted: American intelligence is confident that the nuclear submarine, part of a group of Russian ships heading to Havana, does not carry nuclear weapons. To monitor the ships of the Russian Navy, the United States sent three destroyers, two ships with towed sonars and one coast guard ship. As reported by Regnum news agency, it was previously reported that a group of ships of the Russian Navy will arrive at the port of Havana on June 12. The group includes the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the nuclear submarine Kazan, the tanker Akademik Pashin and the rescue tug Nikolai Chiker. The Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba emphasized that all ships do not have nuclear weapons. Naval exercises will take place in the Caribbean on Wednesday, according to CBS. John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, said on CNN that Washington does not consider the visit of Russian ships to Cuba a threat to US national security. More from the V Kontakte page of Reports from the New Russia militia United States cannot find the Kazan submarine off the coast of Miami. Foreign experts write that the Russian Project 885M submarine Kazan is currently located at a distance of approximately 100 km from Miami, in the waters of the Straits of Florida. Two P8 Poseidon patrol aircraft and two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers were deployed to search for the Kazan. On June 10, the carrier of Zircon hypersonic missiles, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, arrived in the capital of Cuba. Later, it was joined by a Russian nuclear submarine, a carrier of hypersonic and cruise missiles. It is unknown where the submarine is located at the moment. |
