Two Russian Submarines Fired Torpedoes At Each Other In Baltic Sea

What happened?

The Russian Navy recently conducted a training duel involving the diesel-electric submarines Novorossiysk and Dmitrov in the Baltic Sea. According to the TASS news agency, during the maneuvers, the crew of the diesel-electric submarine Novorossiysk carried out a torpedo attack using a practical munition (without a warhead).

It is reported that the submarine crews practiced combat maneuvering, evading enemy attacks, and the daily and combat organization of the ship's internal service while performing combat training missions. After the torpedo launches, the crews continued scheduled combat exercises in the Baltic Sea.

In analyzing the event, observers from The Eurasian Times noted that the exercises in the Baltic Sea are taking place against the backdrop of increasing tensions between Russia and NATO countries. Russia recently attempted to change its maritime border in the eastern Baltic Sea, sparking a new wave of tension with NATO.

And while the Russian fleet has suffered significant damage in the Black Sea, the aggressor country's navy continues to build up its strength through its submarine forces.

This became evident when the nuclear submarine Kazan visited Cuba to participate in scheduled military exercises in the Caribbean. On the way to its destination, Kazan approached the US coast, prompting the Americans to scramble a NATO P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft to track the submarine.
