The crew of the small anti-submarine ship (MPK) "Kabardino-Balkaria" of project 133.1 performed artillery firing at sea and air targets in the Baltic Sea. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The shooting took place as part of naval exercises. The military used a special float shield as a target. Fire was conducted on it from 76.2-mm and 30-mm artillery mounts.
