Baltic Fleet

The Baltic Fleet is the Russian naval force responsible for operations in the Baltic Sea, a strategic body of water in Northern Europe. It includes ships, submarines, and supporting military units tasked with defending Russia’s western coast, asserting regional influence, and ensuring access to maritime trade routes. Historically established in the 18th century, the fleet plays a key role in Russia’s defense strategy, participating in exercises, patrols, and regional security efforts. Its strategic location enables Russia to project naval power, safeguard national interests, and respond to regional developments in the Baltic region.
