Iranian Navy ships took part in an episode of the maneuvers "Kavkaz" in the Caspian sea

Two ships of the Iranian Navy provided support to Russian marines during the training of an episode of landing troops on the unequipped coast near Zelenomorsk in Dagestan at the maneuvers "Kavkaz".

"A detachment of warships of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Navy consisting of the "Joshan" and "Paykan" missile boats together with the "Tatarstan", "Astrakhan" and "Ustyug" missile ships provided cover for the tactical amphibious forces," said Rear Admiral Nikolai Yakubovsky, chief of staff of the Caspian flotilla.

According to the scenario of the exercise, the ship group of the Caspian flotilla of the Russian Navy and a detachment of warships of the Iranian Navy defeated the ships of the mock enemy. "Tatarstan", "Ustyug", "Astrakhan", "Joshan" and "Paykan" at the same time performed live artillery firing at surface targets.

As part of the maneuvers "Kavkaz-2020", a joint Russian-Iranian ship group will also perform tasks to protect sea communications and counteract mock terrorists in the Caspian sea.

The "Kavkaz-2020" exercise is being held from September 21 to 26 in the Southern Military District and in the Black and Caspian seas under the leadership of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General of the Army Valery Gerasimov. About 80 thousand people take part in them, including employees of the Ministry of emergency situations and National guard, as well as up to 1 thousand military personnel from six foreign countries — Armenia, Belarus, Iran, China, Myanmar and Pakistan. It is planned to involve up to 12.9 thousand military personnel in episodes that fall under the Vienna document of 2011 on confidence-and security-building measures.
