Heavy nuclear cruiser "Peter the Great" advanced to the site of large-scale NATO exercises

The naval stage of the military maneuvers of the “peace-loving” NATO Cold Response 2022 bloc will take place off the coast of Norway under the supervision of the Russian Navy. On March 14, the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great (TARK, project 1144.2) and the large anti-submarine ship Severomorsk (BPK, project 1155) of the Northern Fleet came out to meet the Alliance Navy grouping. This is reported by monitoring resources that monitor the situation at sea and in the sky, referring to the data of the Norwegian air reconnaissance.
