“Owing to the participants’ well-coordinated action the advancing “enemy” forces exhausted their attack potential and were forced to fall back.
Our units than delivered a retaliatory strike using all available means of destruction,” the Southern Military District said in a press release Friday.
Over 3,500 military drills were held in Russia in 2015, with many large-scale drills yet to come.
In the latest snap drills, Northern Fleet combat readiness, along with units of the Western, Southern and Eastern Military Districts, was tested.
Some 76,000 servicemen, 65 warships, 15 submarines, 16 auxiliary ships, and over 10,000 combat and support vehicles took part in the exercises of the Northern Fleet, intended to test Russia's defense capability in the Arctic.
