"Such interaction
between Northern Fleet's sailors and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is
taking place for the first time in the history of the Russian Navy," Serga

During the exercises, the crews of the ships will
exchange information, detect suspicious vessels, train sorties of shipborne
helicopters, conduct simulated attacks and carry out excursions, according to
