Summary

Russian Baltic Fleet corvettes and frigate conducted anti-submarine warfare drills and electronic anti-ship missile launches in the Baltic Sea on March 13, 2024.

On March 13, 2024, Russian Baltic Fleet naval units including three Steregushchiy-class corvettes (Soobrazitelny, Boikiy, Stoikiy) and the frigate Neustrashimy exercised coordinated anti-submarine warfare operations with Ka-27PL helicopters in the Baltic Sea. These drills focused on searching, detecting, and destroying a simulated enemy submarine. Simultaneously, corvettes performed electronic launches of Uran anti-ship missiles targeting a simulated enemy carrier strike group, demonstrating integrated strike capabilities during tactical exercises. The exercises underscore the Russian Navy's focus on multi-domain maritime warfare and readiness in the Baltic Sea region.

Classification

Confidence: High

This event clearly describes Russian naval forces conducting offensive-style snap military exercises involving anti-submarine warfare and anti-ship missile launches targeting simulated enemies in the Baltic Sea, reflecting hostile training activities near NATO-member waters.
