MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The inspection of Russia's Pacific Fleet forces will have a number of features, including a study of the underwater situation on the approaches to the fleet's bases, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Friday.
"The inspection will have a number of features. Before the deployment of forces to the areas where the exercises will take place, it is planned to identify the underwater situation on the approaches to the fleet's basing points in a short time," Shoigu said at a meeting with the ministry's senior officials.

"During the event, the Pacific Fleet will have to repel massive missile and air strikes, conduct exercises to search for and destroy submarines, carry out torpedo, artillery and missile launches in the course of defeating naval strike groups and ground facilities of a potential enemy," Shoigu said at a meeting with the ministry's senior officials.

The main drills should be carried out with the "designation of enemy actions and under complex jamming conditions," the statement read.

"It is necessary to work out ways to prevent the deployment of enemy forces into an operationally important region of the Pacific Ocean — the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk — and to repel its landing on the southern Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island," Shoigu added.

"At the second stage, special attention should be paid to the timely deployment of naval forces to the areas of formation of groups, as well as the buildup of air defense combat duty forces. In addition, the issues of ensuring the combat stability of the ballistic missile submarines and their readiness to use weapons should be checked," Gerasimov said at a meeting with the ministry's senior officials.
A low-altitude radar field will be created using mobile radar stations during the inspection of the Pacific fleet, according to Gerasimov.
