@cgtneurope: Russia has released footage of a nuclear-powered submarine and cruiser carrying out missile drills near the disputed Kuril Islands. "During planned exercises, Pacific Fleet forces carried out a missile strike against targets off the coast of the Southern Kuril Islands. The targets simulated enemy ships and were located at a distance of more than 300 kilometres," Russia's Pacific Fleet said in a statement. "The crew of the Guards cruiser Varyag launched two Vulkan anti-ship missiles, while the nuclear-powered submarine Omsk fired Granit cruise missiles. Simultaneously, a Bastion coastal missile system crew on the Kuril Islands struck with an Oniks missile," it added. #Russia #Japan #KurilIslands #Military
