Pomor-2011 naval exercise to be held in May

The program of the exercise includes artillery firings, anti-piracy drills, and search-and-rescue operations. Also, the participants are going to practice interoperability. The remarkable fact is that in this year maneuvers will be carried out in the period between two significant dates – Russia's Victory Day (May 9) and Norway's Constitution Day (May 17). So, all personnel attending the exercise will take part in festivities. First in Kola Peninsula, then after fire drills – in Norwegian port Tromso. The time for exercise was selected to demonstrate a good-neighborly attitude of the two countries.
According to Norwegian top-ranking officer, the coming exercise would be sequential to the last year's large scale maneuvers which were held at a crucially new level.
