The newly upgraded Udaloy-class (Project 1155) vessel Marshal Shaposhnikov resumed regular service with the Russian Navy Pacific Fleet on 27 April after completing an intensive post-upgrade programme of sea trials.
This occurred exactly three weeks after the Russian MoD announced that Marshal Shaposhnikov test-launched two 3M-54 Kalibr (SS-N-27) cruise missiles.
The first missile launch involved a Kalibr-NK which scored a hit on a stationary ground target 1,000km away. The second firing, conducted in the waters of the Sea of Japan, saw a cruise missile scoring a hit on a surface target simulating an enemy warship at 100km range.
