Russia has deployed a regiment of its advanced S-400 air
defense missile system to Crimea as a dispute deepens between Moscow and
Kiev over the security situation in the Black Sea peninsula.
Russian news agencies made the announcement on Friday, citing a statement from Russia’s Defense Ministry.
The ministry had earlier in the day announced that its navy would start to hold three-day military exercises in the Black Sea to practice repelling underwater attacks by saboteurs.
Russia's Black Sea Fleet based in Crimea is taking part in the military exercises. More than 10 warships, MI-8 and Ka-27PS helicopters are participating in the training.
“During the drill we are going to practice the issues of both operational and technical support. These include operations to counter underwater sabotage, navigational and hydrographic exercise, search and rescue missions,” said Russian Navy Commander Admiral Viktor Chirkov.
