Two Russian navy submarines, one armed with nuclear missiles, completed a voyage under the ice of the Arctic for a transfer from the Barents Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
The Russian Defense Ministry on Monday announced the transfer of two nuclear-powered submarines as part of Ocean-2024, a week-long strategic exercise that took place in the Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean. The large-scale military drill concluded the same day.
The transfer also came as Moscow and Washington heated up their rivalry in the Northern Hemisphere this month. They have deployed nuclear-capable bombers to Northern Europe and Northeastern Asia and conducted power projections around the freezing Arctic region.
The voyage was more than 4,000 nautical miles, where submarines Imperator Aleksandr III and Krasnoyarsk arrived at their new home on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East from the Barents Sea in the northwest, shifting from the Northern Fleet to the Pacific Fleet.
