The Russian Navy will conduct a series of exercises in the next few months with all of its fleet commands throughout their respective areas of operations, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Thursday.
Russian Navy Chief Admiral Nikolai Evmenov will oversee the effort, which is in accordance with the Russian Armed Forces’ 2022 training plan.
The series of exercises is meant to work out how the Russian Navy and Russian Air Force protect Russian national interests in the world’s oceans, as well as how to counter military threats to Russia from the sea, according to the defense ministry’s news release.
The exercises will cover the waters adjacent to Russian territory, as well as sea areas that are operationally important to Russia. Separate exercises will take place in the Mediterranean, the northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the Okhotsk Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Over 140 warships and support vessels along with 60 aircraft and a total of 10,000 personnel are slated to participate in the exercises, the release said.

..."Six Russian Navy amphibious ships from the Baltic and Northern Fleets are already heading towards the Mediterranean to link up with a Russian Pacific Fleet task group that is currently in Iran conducting a trilateral naval exercise with Iran and China.
Reports indicate the two groups of ships recently transited the English Channel, with landing ship tanks RFS Olenegorskiy Gornyak (012) and RFS Georgiy Pobedonosets (016) and landing ship RFS Pyotr Morgunov (117) from the Northern Fleet forming one group and landing ship tanks RFS Korolev (130), RFS Minsk (127), and RFS Kaliningrad (102) from the Baltic Fleet forming another group. The six ships were heading to the Mediterranean to join the Pacific Fleet ships for a Russian Navy inter-naval exercise, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a Thursday news release.
Other Russian Navy ships were headed to the North Sea, though the news release did not provide any additional details. Naval ships from Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom have been monitoring the passage of the two Russian groups."...
