MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russian Navy’s Baltic Fleet will demonstrate modern warships’ combat capabilities in the waters of the town of Kronstadt near St.Petersburg as part of the 2nd International Military-Technical Forum Army-2016, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a press release on Saturday.

According to the press release, amphibious boat Serna will transfer the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun Shilka across water obstacles under the cover of Raptor patrol boats’ fire. An airborne assault group of the special forces will reportedly land on the Petrovsky Park pier to fight simulated underwater sabotage forces. At the same time, a small anti-submarine ship will conduct an artillery battle with a simulated enemy vessel.

Viewers will see scenes of liberation of a ship seized by pirates, an episode of emergency assistance to a ship, and sweeping of naval mines, the press release said.
