reference news reported on september 15on september 14, the russian newspaper izvestia published an article titled "what weapons did the russian navy show in the ocean-2024 exercise?" the author is dmitry kornev. the full text is excerpted as follows:

the russian navy fired missiles of various types and classes during the ocean-2024 exercise. almost the entire russian navy arsenal was displayed during the exercise. how powerful is the russian fleet's missile salvo and what are the capabilities of the weapons in service?

the "ocean-2024" strategic exercise was held in the pacific ocean, the arctic ocean, the mediterranean sea, the caspian sea and the baltic sea, involving more than 400 ships, 125 aircraft and more than 90,000 soldiers.

on the first day of the exercise, the pacific fleet's 12411 r-14 and r-18 missile boats launched supersonic anti-ship missiles "sandfly". the "sandfly" 3m80 missile has a flight speed of mach 2.8 and a range of 90 kilometers. the missile can destroy ships of any class and carries a warhead weighing about 300 kilograms. due to its high speed and low flight altitude, it is extremely difficult to be shot down by modern air defense systems of potential enemy ships.

another weapon is the "granit" anti-ship missile, which is part of the weaponry of the project 949a submarine and has been an important means of attacking any ship, including aircraft carriers, for decades. the "omsk" submarine launched two such missiles. the "granit" missile has a unique guidance system that allows a coordinated attack on a group of sea targets (such as an aircraft carrier strike group) with several missiles in a salvo. the salvo missiles can communicate with each other, reallocate targets, and turn to different ship targets in flight. this ensures that the aircraft carrier's echelon air defense system is broken through and the main target of the fleet is destroyed. the missile is a large supersonic missile that can carry a nuclear warhead and, if necessary, can strike ground targets. its maximum range is 500 to 700 kilometers. a project 949a submarine can carry 24 such missiles.
