Moscow. June 29. INTERFAX - About 20 aircraft and helicopters, several divisions of the S-400 and Pantsir-S air defense systems conducted a training test in Crimea against the background of the Sea Breeze exercises launched on the eve of Ukraine, the United States and other NATO countries.

"In total, about 20 aircraft and helicopters were involved in the inspection, including Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft, Su-27 and Su-30SM multi-purpose fighters, Su-24M front-line bombers and Mi-8 and Ka-27 helicopters, as well as divisions of the Triumph and Pantsir S-400 complexes from the Air Force and Air Defense Association of the Southern Military District, "the Russian Black Sea Fleet said on Tuesday.

According to the Russian military, the readiness of the air defense forces on duty was checked.

"During the inspection, the aircraft performed the task both at the maximum distance from the radar detection zones, and at ultra-low altitudes, using the terrain for covering, which significantly complicated the task for the air defense forces and means. Combat crews of the S-400 Triumph and Pantsir complexes made detection and electronic launches (without actual firing) at control targets, " the press service of the Black Sea Fleet said in a statement.

The Russian military in the Black Sea is monitoring the ships of NATO and other countries at the Sea Breeze exercise, the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation reported on June 28.

"The forces and means of the Black Sea Fleet carry out a set of measures to control the actions of the ships of the NATO Navy and other countries participating in the Sea Breeze - 2021 exercise, which started on June 28, 2021 in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, "the center said in a statement.

On June 28, the large-scale naval exercises Sea Breeze-2021 started in the Black Sea. They will involve 32 warships, 40 aircraft and five thousand military personnel from 17 NATO member countries, as well as alliance partners. In total, military personnel from 32 countries are expected to participate.

According to the US 6th Operational Fleet, during the exercises, combat operations at sea, on land and in the air, including amphibious landings, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft warfare, will be practiced.

On June 26, the American missile destroyer USS Ross entered the Black Sea. It can carry up to 56 Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of 1.6 thousand km.

The British destroyer Defender and the Dutch frigate Evertsen have also been in the Black Sea since June 14.
