The crew of the Russian "Varyag" cruiser conducted exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, where they worked to destroy unmanned boats and drones, in addition to repelling an attack by a hypothetical enemy ship.
The Information Department of the Pacific Fleet noted in a statement, “The crew of the flagship of the Pacific Fleet of the Nakhimov Guard, the Varyag cruiser, conducted a set of planned exercises in the Mediterranean Sea.”
It is noteworthy that the ship's crew accomplished the tasks of destroying small-sized, high-speed targets at sea, camouflaged the cruiser with a smoke screen, and combat groups trained to distribute targets in the face of a hypothetical attack by drone boats.
The cruiser crew also repelled the attack of the hypothetical enemy ship using AK-130 and AK-630 artillery launchers on a model simulating a surface target.
