29.02.2024

The Pacific Fleet corvettes Gromky and Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov crew trained to wipe out uncrewed surface vehicles during drills in the Peter the Great Bay.

According to the drills' plan, a detachment of ships consisting of two corvettes at sea was attacked by several mock enemy uncrewed surface vehicles. When ordered, the artillery crews of the corvettes Gromky and Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov practised a set of actions for detecting and assigning targets for further strikes, as well as the methods of sectoral firing in the conditions of a massive attack by uncrewed surface vehicles.

Large-calibre machine guns and AK-630M anti-aircraft artillery systems were used to destroy at the mock enemy targets. All mock enemy uncrewed surface vehicles were successfully neutralised by the corvettes' combat crews.

The exercise was conducted in accordance with the fleet's combat training plan in one of the Peter the Great Bay training ground.
