A Russian nuclear submarine fires a cruise missile from underwater during a show of military strength in the Arctic Sea.
The Severodvinsk submarine launched the Kalibr missile to destroy a coastal target in the Arkhangelsk region of Russia, during a combat drill.
Launching and then disappearing with a plume of smoke the missile went on to hit its target with 'high accuracy' reported a military source.
According to the Mirror a spokesman said: 'A strike group of the flotilla has conducted firing drills using naval practice targets and hit them successfully.'
It is believed that over 20 ships from the Caspian Flotilla took part in the combat drills.
The display could be seen as another example of Russia's armed forces flexing its muscles, with two fighter jets thundering past a U.S war ship earlier this month.
'We will take all necessary measures, precautions, to compensate for these attempts to use military force.'
However, the United States said its guided missile destroyer was on routine business near Poland when it was harassed by Russian jets.
Another controversial incident included a Russian SU-27 Flanker pilot barrel rolling over an American reconnaissance plane earlier this week.
The move came as the country makes an effort to step up its presence in the Arctic region as it fights other countries over underwater mining rights.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
