At the pier, Fleet Commander Admiral Viktor Liina thanked the sailors for their high level of training and professionalism. Medals and certificates were awarded to those who distinguished themselves. The solemn meeting was attended by naval veterans and families who saw off the crew back in October 2025.

During the voyage, the frigate called at six countries, and returned to some ports more than once. The ship participated in several major exercises: PASSEX with the Thai Navy, the traditional "Marumex-2025" with the Myanmar Navy, and the multilateral "Milan-2026" in India. In addition, in the Qatari port of Hamad, the crew represented the Russian Navy at the international exhibition DIMDEX-2026.

Special attention was drawn to the work of naval aviation. The Ka-27M helicopter repeatedly took to the air during joint maneuvers and confidently performed the tasks assigned. This became another confirmation of the ship's reliability and readiness to operate in any conditions of the World Ocean.
