“In 2020, the Northern Fleet plans to conduct a series of studies on the archipelagos of Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya, Nordenskheld, Severnaya Zemlya, Novosibirsk Islands, as well as on the continental coast of the Laptev and Kara Seas,” the press service of the fleet reports to RIA Novosti.
It is noted that part of the research and experiments will be carried out during the campaign of the Arctic grouping of ships and fleet ships along the Northern Sea Route.
In March, it was reported that the S-400 Triumph air defense systems repelled a conditional enemy air attack on the Northern Sea Route.
