Russia's Novosibirsk Submarine Fires Kalibr Over 1,200 km and Oniks Missiles at Mock Warship

The Russian Navy's Project 885M Yasen-M attack submarine Novosibirsk conducted a reported dual-missile exercise in the Pacific region, using weapons intended for maritime and land targets. Russia's Defense Ministry said the boat launched an Oniks anti-ship cruise missile against a simulated warship at more than 170 kilometers and a Kalibr missile toward a land range more than 1,200 kilometers away. Both shots were described as submerged launches, showcasing different strike options from the same nuclear-powered platform. The event was a training exercise, and the targeting outcomes and distances remain claims released by the Russian military.
