Watch Russian sub launching cruise missile during arctic drills
Russia has successfully launched its latest Kalibr cruise missile from a submarine during firing drills in the Arctic regions.
In footage released by the Russian military on Saturday, a nuclear submarine, the Severodvinsk, can be seen firing an S-N-27 Sizzler cruise missile and successfully hitting a target, located on the coast of the Arkhangelsk Region, “with high accuracy."
According to a statement released by the Southern Military District’s press service, Severodvinsk has carried out several drills since it reached the Barents Sea earlier in the week as part of Russia's Northern Fleet training exercises in which some 20 warships and their supporting vessels are currently engaged.
"A strike group of the flotilla has conducted firing drills using naval practice targets and hitting them successfully," the statement added.
The supersonic Kalibr missiles are capable of hitting land and sea targets and can be utilized in anti-ship and anti-submarine offensives. Their relatively small size allows them to be launched from submarines and small warships while they have the capability of being armed with both conventional and nuclear warheads.
