  • ... that in 2008 Vice-Admiral Nikolai Maksimov (pictured) was in charge of the largest Russian military manoeuvres in the Atlantic since 1991? Source: In Russian and offline sources, gist in English also here - "Vice Adm. Nikolai Maksimov of the Russian navy's northern fleet will lead the exercises." and "The upcoming military exercises are one of the largest maritime operations by Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991."

  • Most of the sources are in Russian, so I'm assuming good faith as far as accuracy. The article is new enough, long enough. The image appears to be free, but worth looking into. The hook is interesting and supported by an RS, which happens to be in English. QPQ is done. Al Ameer (talk) 21:01, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
