The exercise is conducted under the leadership of the Commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov.
According to the Russian defense ministry, one of the significant episodes of the exercise was the practice of air defense actions of the Chukotka peninsula against aerial attack means from a fictional adversary. To intercept the target cruise missiles, two ready-to-launch MiG-31 fighters were scrambled from the Anadyr airfield. Their crews destroyed the aerial targets using “air-to-air” missiles.

During the maneuvers, successful firings with cruise missiles were carried out on a complex target position in the northeastern part of the Bering Sea.
