Northern Fleet (NF) task unit consisting of landing ships Alexander Otrakovsky, Georgy Pobedonosets, and Kondopoga left the Mediterranean Sea last weekend and reached the Atlantic via Gibraltar Strait, reports Murmansk Review.

According to the NF spokesman Capt 1 Rank Vadim Serga, crews of the Russian ships held various kinds of antiaircraft drills in the Atlantic. In the nearest time it is planned to carry out scheduled exercises including damage control drills and assistance to a ship in distress.

Since the departure from NF main base Severomorsk, the landing ships have covered over 8,200 nautical miles and effectively cooperated with Baltic Fleet ships within the Russian Navy's interfleet task force. When heading through the North Atlantic, the NF task unit will hold joint maneuvering drills in northern latitudes.
