In the connection of the ships of the protection of the water area of the Primorsky Flotilla of the heterogeneous forces of the Pacific Fleet, a complex exercise was conducted to disguise ships at the base point and eliminate chemical contamination on one of the missile boats.
To organize the camouflage of combat units when they are parked and deployed from the base point, the specialists of the radiation, chemical and biological (RCB) protection of the Pacific Fleet used a complex method of aerosol cover of objects from the shore and sea.
During the exercise, in order to anticipate the actions of visual reconnaissance and guidance of high-precision weapons of the simulated enemy, the specialists of the RCHB Fleet Protection used modern TDA-3 smoke machines designed to transfer smoke mixtures and powder composition of infrared camouflage to the aerosol state in order to protect people, equipment and important rear objects.
After assessing the speed and direction of the wind, the experts organized the cover of the ships simultaneously from several points on the coast. One of the aerosol machines was first placed on board the landing boat "Ivan Kartsov", which was maneuvering in the area of the exercise. Previously, aerosol posts at the point of basing ships from the sea were not exposed. The total area of the non-visible aerosol fog exceeded 5 square kilometers, which provided reliable air cover for the forces.
In the development of the situation of the exercise, on one of the ships, the actions of the crew were worked out to localize a chemically dangerous substance that got on the deck. The crew conducted a reconnaissance of the RCB, identified the source of infection and carried out a set of measures using standard means to eliminate the conditional threat.
The exercise involved more than 500 military personnel, several ships and about 5 units of special equipment.
The military reported that aerosol camouflage is used to ensure secrecy when ships leave their bases, to counter the use of high-precision weapons and other means of air attack by the enemy.
