The crew of the small air-cushion landing craft (DKVP) "Mordovia" (Project 12322 "Zubr") carried out artillery firing in the Baltic Sea. This was reported by the press service of the Baltic Fleet.
Baltic Fleet sailors employed air defence (AD) systems and electronic warfare systems. They then fired at aerial targets.
After completing training tasks to repel an attack and destroy a mock enemy, the ship's commander summed up the results of the maneuvers.
The landing craft "Mordovia" is intended to take aboard naval assault troops and military equipment from an equipped or unequipped shore, as well as to provide fire support to units. The vessel can carry mines and lay minefields. Thanks to its air cushion, "Mordovia" can travel over land, swamps, and bypass ditches and trenches.
The DKVP was built at the Primorsky Shipbuilding Plant. It was transferred to the Pacific Fleet in October 1991. The ship is armed with the Soviet A-22 "Ogony" incendiary flamethrower system of 140 mm caliber and the AK-630 artillery mount.
