Previously in Finland reportedHe said launching missiles into the Baltic Sea was “not the most common thing” during Russian Navy exercises. Last week, the crew of the corvette “Stoikiy” fired a series of fire at surface and air targets from the ship’s Redut anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) in the Baltic Sea.
According to Anssi Munkki, a senior lecturer at the Department of Marine Sciences at the National Defense University of Finland, such shooting exercises cannot be considered unique, but this does not happen every year. There are a variety of factors, particularly technical and training-related reasons, that typically go into launching missiles.
