According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the attacks involved multiple launch platforms:
- The missile cruiser Varyag, flagship of the Pacific Fleet and bearer of the Order of Nakhimov, conducted a practical launch of a Vulkan anti-ship cruise missile.
- Two missile boat strike groups from the fleet fired a total of four Moskit missiles at the targets.
- A unit of the Bastion coastal missile system, operating from the Primorye Territory coastline, launched an Oniks missile.
All missiles successfully hit their targets, as confirmed by objective control data. To ensure operational safety, the launch area was previously closed to civilian navigation and air traffic.
The exercise focused on coordination between different elements of the Pacific Fleet, including surface naval forces and coastal defense systems, in a realistic combat scenario. The demonstration reinforces Russia’s ability to project naval power in the Indo-Pacific region.
