MOSCOW (BNS): Russia will hold a naval exercise “Pomor 2011” with Norway next week, according to the Russian Northern Fleet spokesperson.
The naval exercise will be held in the Barents and Norwegian seas from May 11-16, a Ria Novosti report said.
The Russian Udaloy class destroyer Vice Admiral Kulakov from the Northern Fleet and Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen class frigate Helge Ingstad, coastal guard vessels and naval aircraft will take part in the drill.
"The drills will include artillery firing at air and surface targets, anti-submarine warfare, an anti-piracy mission, and the freeing of an oil platform or a commercial ship from armed extremists," Capt. 1st Rank Vadim Serga was quoted as saying.
The two countries had held similar naval drills in June last year to practice interoperability during missions in the Arctic, it added.
