Posted by Matt in April 17th, 2008

– New carriers.
– Battle groups.
– Mediterranean deployment.
– Indian Ocean exercises.
– Arctic control.
– Flying the flag.

Russian naval exercises
The Black Sea Fleet - once a symbol of power but since 1991 a source of discord between Russia and Ukraine - was divided between the two countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And though large-scale joint military exercises have been staged, the Fleet is facing a troubled present and an uncertain future.
