The Russian strike group was composed of attack naval units, maritime search groups, missile boats, as well as divisions of the Bal and Bastion coastal missile systems.
During the operation, the military carried out electronic missile launches against naval and land targets representing a hostile force.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the exercises also included a simulated defense against an enemy attack on the Kaliningrad region, employing modern air defense and missile defense systems.
Among the highlights of the operation were the Buyan-M class missile ships — Naro-Fominsk, Zeleny Dol, and Serpukhov — which are equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles. These vessels conducted simulated high-precision strikes against surface targets and coastal structures.
The exercise demonstrated the Russian Navy’s capability to detect and neutralize enemy naval formations at any point in the Baltic Sea, according to the official assessment.
