"The (Russian) Navy's forces will be present in key sea areas of the world in predetermined numbers, which will help to minimize any threats from the sea," Korolev was quoted as saying by Krasnaya Zvezda, the official newspaper of the Russian military.
According to him, Russia's current presence in the world's seas is ensured by about 100 warships and vessels of various types.
Mr. Korolev also said that in 2019, military exercises by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the US as well as the deployment of missile defense systems at sea near Russia's borders will impact the scale of the Russian Navy's presence in many seas around the world./.
