& Kuril Islands |
| |
The
naval aviation units of Russian Navy Pacific Fleet has stepped up flights
in the area of the Kuril islands, the Eastern Military District’s
spokesman Roman Martov said Wednesday.
"The crews of submarine chasers are carrying out various patrol
missions in both day- and night-time. Several operations have been held
to search for a hypothetical enemy’s submarines in the Sea of
Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. Antisubmarine warfare planes’ crews
practised skills of flights over a landmark-less area in both day- and
night-time. The flight lasted 14 hours," Martov said. |

Flights
by air reconnaissance planes in search for surface targets proceeded
according to the original schedule.
"In summertime naval aircraft will be actively used for
fast airlift and airdrop operations and personnel rotation of the Pacific
Fleet’s Marines," Martov said.
In the course of training flights pilots were practising cooperation
with Pacific Fleet ships and the aviation and troops of the Eastern
Military District, as well as law enforcement agencies in the Far East. |
