The corvettes "Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov," "Rezkiy," and "Gromkiy," built at the Amur Shipbuilding Plant, have set out to sea to carry out assigned tasks in the Asia-Pacific region. This was reported by the USC press service.
The exercises are taking place in Peter the Great Bay. According to the corporation's press service, one of the corvettes received a Ka-27 helicopter from the Pacific Fleet's naval aviation onboard.
