Frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov undergoes training in Arabian Sea
28.02.2024
The frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov (Pacific Fleet) detached from the ship battle force being on long-distance underwent a counter-piracy exercise in Arabian Sea.
According to the scenario, a suspicious coastal vessel was detected, which did not respond to the ship's requests by means of International VHF Marine Radio Channels.
The inspection team, consisting of members of a special unit, approached the suspected coastal vessel in a fast boat and, upon boarding, found several crew members who were trying to resist.
On the second stage of the exercise, the frigate's artillery crews practised destroying 'enemy' small fast boats on which armed men had attempted to attack and seize a foreign merchant vessel. The AK-630 artillery systems and the Utyos machine gun were used to disarm the mock attacking pirates.
During the third stage of the counter-piracy exercise at sea, the ship's Ka-27PS helicopter of the Pacific Fleet Naval Aviation carried out air patrols in a specified area.
Currently, the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov continue missions in Arabian Sea.
