"The Northern Fleet's nuclear anti-submarine missile cruiser, performing planned combat training missions in the Barents Sea, studied the use of torpedo weapons against underwater targets," the press release said.
During the exercise, a multipurpose nuclear submarine of one of the Northern Fleet's submarine forces was tasked with countering the enemy.
Torpedo attacks with actual shells without warheads were carried out at a depth of about 100 meters. The cruiser squadron also practiced maneuvering, evading enemy attacks and swimming in various modes.
After the successful launch, the torpedo boat was lifted out of the water by a special boat and brought back to base, while the submarines continued to carry out combat training missions as planned.
