In the military harbor of Baltiysk, a detachment of warships returning from a trip to the Baltic Sea was solemnly greeted with an orchestra and a traditional roast pig.
The Baltic Fleet corvettes Stoyky and Boyky spent more than a month at sea, leaving more than 6,700 nautical miles astern. According to the information support department of the press service of the Baltic Fleet, the detachment's campaign took place within the framework of the permanent naval presence of ships of the Baltic Fleet in its area of responsibility.
During the campaign, the crews of the corvettes conducted dozens of ship exercises and trainings. Including the search, detection and destruction of submarines of a conditional enemy using a complex of anti-submarine weapons and Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopters.
The sailors practiced anti-aircraft and anti-sabotage defense of ships. Specialists of rocket and artillery combat units struck with anti-ship missile complexes "Uran" on a detachment of ships of a conditional enemy with electronic missile launches.
The units of marines who were on the ships worked out various anti-terrorist scenarios and carried out small arms fire at sea targets.
The ships returned from the campaign technically sound. The servicemen who distinguished themselves in the long campaign were awarded valuable gifts from the fleet command.
Meanwhile
The large landing ships (BDK) of the Baltic Fleet "Korolev" and "Minsk" as part of a control entry into the sea repelled a raid by a simulated enemy aircraft.
The crews of the BDK activated electronic warfare equipment, put active and passive interference. Conditional air targets were taken for escort by shipboard air defense means and then destroyed from artillery installations.
The ships also worked out replenishment of water, fuel and the transfer of various cargoes from the board of the multipurpose support vessel "Alexander Grebenshchikov". In addition, a training session was held to assist a conditionally emergency vessel, in the role of which the rescue tug "SB-123" acted.
