The Russian Navy’s large landing ship, Admiral Nevelskoy, conducted artillery firing drills in the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, Russian news agency Interfax reported on Feb 17, citing the press service of the Pacific Fleet.
“During the exercise to test air defence for a single ship, the crew of the large landing ship conducted artillery firing at a simulated air target,” Interfax quoted the press service as saying.
The crew also fired large-calibre machine guns at small manoeuvrable targets simulating unmanned boats of a mock enemy.
