"BLACK SEA EXERCISES COMPLETED WITH MISSILE FIRINGS"



MOSCOW, April 26 (RIA Novosti)

Exercises of the forces of the Novorossiisk naval base of the Black Sea Fleet ended with missile launches, says a Russian defense ministry press service statement.

"Yesterday, units of the coast guard from the Caucasian coast near the Taman peninsula carried out artillery and missile firings to thus complete the exercises of the Novorossiisk naval base of Russia's Black Sea Fleet," the statement runs.

"During the bilateral exercise under the command of Vice Admiral Vladimir Rogatin, the commander of the Novorossiisk-based naval base of the Black Fleet, artillery and missile firings on sea-based targets were practiced.

"Ships in the sea repulsed a missile attack from the coast. While entering the destruction area of the ship-based air defense means, targets were destroyed," the press service reports.

The commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Masorin, while summing up combat work of his subordinates, said the exercise tasks were fulfilled successfully, "the coast guard and seamen once again demonstrated high skills of using weapons and military hardware."

I copied this from TB2000. It sounds to me like a list of potential targets- some of the city's picked are unexpected.

Remember that COG exercise when we went to Orange during the holidays?

cuba's submarines in the Gulf of Mexico

You will find a lot of stories that lead me to think that there is a big danger to us and it is not all from the muslim angle, altho they are more than likely involved.
