The crews of the small anti-submarine ships (MPK) "Aleksin" and "Kabardino-Balkariya" attacked a mock enemy submarine with torpedoes. The maneuvers took place in the naval training ranges of the Baltic Fleet near the coast of the Kaliningrad Region, the fleet's press service reported.
The underwater target was engaged with practical ammunition – conventional torpedoes without a warhead, which were then located and recovered from the water by the crew of a torpedo recovery boat after the combat exercise.
During the exercises, the sailors practiced searching for and detecting an underwater target. The "Dmitrov" submarine of the Baltic Fleet acted as the enemy submarine.
The exercises also included practicing:
- damage control
- jamming
- anti-sabotage defense
- grenade throwing
