The combat crews fired the Redoubt anti-aircraft missile system at the Malachite target missiles.
Russian corvettes of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet) Gromkiy and Sovershenny carried out anti-aircraft missile firing in the Sea of Japan, hitting cruise missiles of a mock enemy. It is reported by Interfax citing the press service of the fleet on Tuesday, August 31.
“The ships one by one went to the area where the missions were to be performed and practiced air defense actions in one of the naval combat training ranges,” the message says.
The combat crews fired the Redoubt anti-aircraft missile system at Malachite target missiles fired from the small rocket ship Frost, which imitated a simulated enemy.
“Air targets were timely identified and taken for escort. After the cruise missiles entered the affected area, they were destroyed by Redut air defense missiles fired from corvettes,” the fleet said.
It is alleged that the shooting took place without comment. All systems and the anti-aircraft missile system worked in a normal mode, the Pacific Fleet emphasized.
Corvettes Perfect and Loud are the first and second serial ships of project 20380. They were built at the Amur shipyard. Perfect entered the Pacific Fleet in 2017, Loud – in 2018. They are intended for operations in the near sea zone and for fighting enemy surface ships and submarines, as well as for artillery support of amphibious assault forces during amphibious assault operations.
Earlier in Russia, the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, as part of factory tests, produced missile launch Caliber… The incident was caught on video. Then it was noted that this ship underwent modernization and became part of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation.
