The Pacific Fleet fired two Mosquito anti-ship cruise missiles which successfully eliminated an above-water target during tactical drills.

According to the Russian MOD, the projectiles were simultaneously launched by a destroyer and a missile boat, hitting the target around 60km away.

In the Arctic, the newest version of the TOR-M2DT air defence missile system successfully intercepted aerial targets.
