Ships of the Primorsky Flotilla of Mixed Forces of the Pacific Fleet — the corvettes "Sovershennyy" and "Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov" — practiced searching for and destroying a submarine of a mock enemy at one of the training ranges in the Sea of Japan.
During the exercises, a ship strike group, together with naval aviation aircraft, discovered an "underwater intruder" in the territorial waters of the Russian Federation. The corvette crews organized a pursuit and forced the enemy submarine to surface.
Combat crews simultaneously attacked the submarine using the "Paket" anti-submarine torpedo complex and carried out practical torpedo launches at an underwater object. The role of the mock enemy's submarine was played by one of the Pacific Fleet's submarines.
