28.11.2023

The Baltic Fleet mine sweeper Aleksandr Obukhov underwent drills on searching and neutralising sea mines.

In the course of the drills' first stage, servicemen trained to set sea mines, search and destroy mines by contact and non-contact sweeps. The minesweeper's crew performed artillery live fires at sea mines and neutralised mines by various methods of detonation.

At the second stage, the crew completed the tasks of leading a detachment of support vessels through minefields. To escort support vessels, the Fleet's support vessels operated performing tasks according to the intended purpose.

The ship's crew along with servicemen of the anti-submarine sabotage unit practiced anti-sabotage defence when the ships were parked on unsafe roadstead.
