He said that the Russian maneuvers in the Caspian Sea are not meant to be a show of force but are an effort at consolidating friendship between Caspian Sea littoral states. Moscow's maneuvers have nothing to do with the sea's legal regime, the rear admiral said, adding that holding such military exercises is useful for evaluating the military power of littoral states and their campaign against the mock enemy.
