A Russian navy frigate, the Admiral Golovko, equipped with Zircon hypersonic missiles, conducted drills in the English Channel, according to Russian state news. The Project 22350 warship undertook counter-terrorism exercises and practiced evading dangerous targets as it passed through Pas de Calais en route to the Atlantic. The Russian Defense Ministry stated the mission's primary goal was to "demonstrate the flag and ensure naval presence in strategic maritime areas." Admiral Golovko had departed from Severomorsk on November 2, marking a display of Russia's advanced naval capabilities in the region.
