A Russian navy corvette destroyed a simulated enemy submarine using a new weapon during a military drill.
"The target was conditionally destroyed with the help of the small-size anti-submarine 'Package' weapons system," said the press secretary for the Western Military District.
The press secretary added that Package is a "fundamentally new system of weapons for surface ships that can significantly improve their survival."
The Package is designed to protect surface vessels from enemy submarines and torpedoes within close range, as well as detect and classify underwater threats.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
