Russia’s only aircraft carrier will sail on a training mission in the Barents Sea by the end of September.
Just a week or two after Russia has signed the Treaty concerning the Maritime Delimitation with Norway in the Barents Sea; the large warship will be training in the area.

The aircraft carrier then started to train take-off and landings with its fighter-jets near to the Norwegian oil-platforms in the North Sea.
