SAINT-NAZAIRE, France, 02 Ramadan,1435, 30 June, 2014, SPA -- A Russian naval ship carrying 400 sailors has docked at a French harbor to start weeks of training aboard a warship France is selling to Russia, AP reported. The warship is part of a 1.2-billion-euro ($1.6-billion) deal that marked the biggest sale ever of NATO weaponry to Moscow in 2011. The sailors docked Monday near the warship Vladivostock, which the French will teach them to operate in coming weeks. France says the ship can carry 700 troops, 16 helicopter gunships, and as many as 50 armored vehicles. --SPA 13:48 LOCAL TIME 10:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
