The Russian Defense Ministry conducted training electronic missile launches to test the defense of the coast of the Kaliningrad region. German frigates, which began patrolling the area after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, left this part of the Baltic Sea. On March 7, the National Defense Control Center of Russia also reported that US destroyers had entered the Baltic Sea.

According to the Marinetraffic and Vesselfinder navigation portals, the German Navy frigates Sachsen (F219) and Sachsen-Anhalt (F224) left the Baltic Sea area near Kaliningrad.

So, Sachsen-Anhalt (F224) was on March 5-7 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, and on March 8 headed for the shores of Germany. In the morning of today, March 9, the ship was already in the western part of the Baltic Sea, 250 miles from the coast of Kaliningrad - between Denmark and Germany.

The movement of the German ships occurred immediately after the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the calculations of the coastal missile systems "Bastion" of the Baltic Fleet performed electronic missile launches, practicing the defense of the coast of the Kaliningrad region.

"The calculations of the Bastion coastal missile systems of the Baltic Fleet conducted a planned training on the defense of the coast of the Kaliningrad region in the event of a threat of missile strikes by ship groups of a conditional enemy from the Baltic Sea," the press service of the Baltic Fleet reported on March 8. They clarified that the ships of the fleet, currently performing tasks at sea, acted as ships of the conditional enemy: "The calculations made a march from the point of permanent deployment to the designated area, worked out the standards for alerting launchers and organizing camouflage, and also performed algorithms for obtaining target designation and striking a detachment of ships of a conditional enemy with electronic (conditional) missile launches."

Earlier, on March 7, the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation also announced that US destroyers had entered the Baltic Sea.

"The forces and means of the Baltic Fleet have begun tracking the actions of the US Navy destroyers with guided missile weapons "Donald Cook" and "Forrest Sherman", which entered the waters of the Baltic Sea," the national center reported.
