The crew of the Baltic Fleet corvette "Stoyky", which went on a long voyage, conducted an exercise in the Mediterranean Sea to counter air strikes.
As reported in the information support department of the press service of the Baltic Fleet, conditional artillery and rocket firing was conducted on simulated air and sea targets, which were set using on-board target designation systems.
The firing was carried out by combat crews of batteries of artillery installations A-190, AK-630 and anti-aircraft missile system "Redut". The crew also worked out actions on a training alert, on the option of defending the ship from unmanned aerial vehicles of a conditional enemy.
The Marines of the anti-terror units, which are part of the crew, practiced in organizing the protection and defense of the corvette when parked on an unprotected roadstead and stopping the attack of a high-speed small-sized target.
