The Marshal Shaposhnikov is a modernized Project 1155 frigate, originally built as an anti-submarine destroyer. After an extensive modernization process completed in 2021, the ship was equipped with modern strike, air defense, and electronic systems, as well as the capability to operate Kalibr and Uran cruise missiles. This modernization transformed the vessel into one of the most versatile ships of the Pacific Fleet.
The maneuver was part of scheduled military exercises by the Russian fleet, aimed at maintaining crew readiness and testing weapon systems in simulated combat scenarios.
