After detecting the submarine of the imaginary enemy, the corvette "Boyky" launched a training torpedo at the target
KALININGRAD, October 17th. /tass/. The naval strike group consisting of the corvettes "Savvy", "Boyky" and "Stoyky" of the Baltic Fleet in cooperation with the submarine "Dmitrov", Ka-27PL anti-submarine helicopters conducted joint anti-submarine exercises in the Baltic, the press service of the fleet reported.
"As part of the test tactical exercises of the Baltic Fleet forces in the landfills located in the Baltic Sea, the crews of the corvettes "Savvy", "Boyky" and "Stoyky" worked out the tasks of searching for and destroying a submarine of a conditional enemy, the role of which was performed by the submarine "Dmitrov", the message says.
It is noted that the corvettes, in cooperation with the Ka-27PL anti-submarine helicopters of the naval aviation of the fleet, carried out exercises to search, track and destroy a simulated enemy submarine using radar and sonar equipment and anti-submarine weapons installed on ships and helicopters.
"After the discovery of the submarine of the imaginary enemy, the corvette "Boyky" launched a training torpedo at the target," the press service stressed.
In addition to anti-submarine actions, the crews of the corvettes worked out tasks on narrow navigation, joint maneuvering, performed exercises on setting radio-electronic interference, conducted artillery firing at sea and air targets, including simulators of unmanned boats and unmanned aerial vehicles, and also worked out joint electronic missile launches against ships of a simulated enemy.
About corvettes, a submarine and a helicopter
"Brisk", "Persistent" and "Quick-witted" are corvettes of project 20380. The ships of this project are multi-purpose corvettes developed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau (St. Petersburg), designed to perform escort and strike missions in the near sea zone, patrol coastal waters, and patrol duty. The corvettes of this project are armed with universal artillery systems, anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems, supersonic missiles and automatic artillery installations, and other types of weapons. The Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter can be based on the ship.
Diesel-electric submarines of project 877 (Varshavyanka), to which Dmitrov belongs, are the lowest-noise Russian submarines, which is explained by the absence of noisy power units, a verified streamlined shape and a special hydroacoustic hull coating. In the West, this class of submarines is called a "Black Hole" for its high stealth. Submarines of this series can counteract both underwater and surface ships and are designed to protect naval bases, the seashore and maritime communications.
The Ka-27PL is a ship-based anti-submarine helicopter designed to detect, track and destroy submarines traveling at depths up to 500 m at speeds up to 75 km/h in search areas remote from the home ship up to 200 km with sea waves up to five points day and night, in simple and difficult weather conditions. The helicopter can perform tactical tasks both singly and as part of a group, in cooperation with ships in all geographical latitudes, and can operate both from an onshore airfield and from a ship.
