Ocean 2024 CPX: NBC protection troops place aerosol screen at Pacific Fleet Submarine Force's homeport on Kamchatka
12.09.2024
On Kamchatka, at the Pacific Fleet Submarine Force's home station, chemical units trained setting an aerosol screen along the mooring line within the Ocean 2024 strategic naval drills.
The servicemen met the time standards for alerting crews and setting an aerosol screen to counter optronic equipment of the enemy during the drills. With the help of smoke generators set up in the training area and taking into account the wind situation, a large aerosol cloud covering an area of more than 3 square kilometres was formed. A chemical unit provided cover for a pier zone, warehouses and control facilities, as well as for submarines leaving the base.
In addition, the use of aerosol camouflage makes it possible to ensure that the ships and vessels in the base and at the roadstead are concealed, and that the homing heads of enemy's high-precision ammunition are 'blinded'.
According the training plan of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, formations and units of the Russian Navy have started taking part in the Ocean 2024 strategic command post exercise, which is to last until 16 September 2024. The exercise, which is one of the most important operational and combat training events of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2024, is to be conducted in a bilateral format under the overall command of Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
More than 400 warships, submarines and support vessels, over 120 naval aircraft, some 7,000 units of weaponry, military and special hardware, and more than 90,000 personnel participate in the drills, which take place in the waters of the Pacific and Arctic oceans, Mediterranean, Caspian, and Baltic seas.
The Ocean 2024 strategic command post exercise is aimed at checking the readiness of the senior staff of the Russian Navy to operate all-arms groups of forces in the areas of responsibility, to solve non-standard operational tasks, to make full use of high-precision weapons, advanced and modern weapons and military hardware in the practical part of the exercise, and to expand cooperation with the navies of partner countries to perform joint maritime missions.
