Admiral Alexander Moiseyev, the commander in chief of the Russian Navy, oversaw the exercises directly.

On Tuesday, the fleet missile frigates Admiral Gorshkov and Admiral Golovko engaged in firing hypersonic Zircon missiles. Additionally, the diesel-electric submarine Novorossiysk launched a Kalibr cruise missile at a maritime target.
The drills also included test launches of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles from MiG-31 fighters and Onyx cruise missile launches from a Bastion coastal battery.
