The crew completed a set of tactical tasks: practiced searching, detecting, and destroying submarines of a mock enemy using an anti-submarine complex and a Ka-27 helicopter, and also conducted exercises on delivering strikes with anti-ship missiles with electronic launches at a group of surface targets.

During the voyage, the corvette visited the ports of Conakry (Guinea), Algiers, and Alexandria (Egypt). According to the command's assessment, the ship returned in good condition without damage and is ready to perform tasks after replenishing supplies.

It should be noted that on January 23, 2026, at the final stage of the expedition, an incident occurred in the English Channel. The corvette, escorting the tanker "General Skobelev", successfully prevented an attempt to detain it by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. After the episode, the ship "Boikiy" headed to its permanent base.
