He underlined that 108th Guard Airborne Regiment (7th Airborne Division) conducts exercise near Novorossiysk along with Black Sea Fleet (BSF) ships.

"On Wednesday about 30 amphibious vehicles arrived on board BSF large landing ships and landed on assigned seashore area next to Rayevsky Range near Novorossiysk", said Cherednik.

He added that the drills would last till Apr 8. Recon company parachuted from Il-76 aircraft to Rayevsky Range on Thursday.
