The crew will have to cover more than five thousand nautical miles during the interfleet passage, passing the Black, Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, North and Baltic Seas, as well as part of the Atlantic Ocean.

The crew of the ship will conduct a complex of ship combat exercises for different tasks when making the sea crossing. In particular, the Ka-27PL helicopter's sailors and crew will perform tasks for takeoffs and landings on the ship's deck, and for the purpose of checking the coherence of all systems of the ship's aviation complex, training will be carried out for the crews of the ship.
