However, in the year of the Ukraine war, things were a quarter "more subdued" - 40 ships, submarines and boats, mostly of smaller tonnage, plus 42 aeroplanes and helicopters, with 3,500 soldiers involved. The new naval doctrine issued by the commander-in-chief, President Vladimir Putin, between the morning naval parade of the larger ships and the morning parade of the new naval...
