Naval exercises being held off Russia's Far East coast are
defense-oriented and pose no threat to any neighboring Asian state,
a Navy official said Thursday.
The weeklong exercises, which began Wednesday, are being conducted
by the Primorye flotilla of the Pacific Fleet in the Russian sector
of the Sea of Japan. The maneuvers involve over 20 surface ships,
submarines and supply vessels, as well as about a dozen aircraft.
Captain 1st rank Roman Martov, the head of the Pacific Fleet
press center, said these are scheduled combat exercises of diversified
forces.

"These exercises will become the longest and most comprehensive
maneuvers ever held in south Primorye waters," said Martov.
Besides missile and gunnery firing, and torpedo attacks, the
exercises will feature missile interceptions by two large Anti-Submarine
Warfare ships, the Admiral Panteleyev and Admiral Tributs [NATO
codename Udaloy I].
