During the Ocean 2024 strategic naval drills in the Baltic Sea waters, the small anti-submarine ship Aleksin in cooperation with the Ka-27PL naval anti-submarine helicopters of the Fleet trained in locating, detecting and destroying a submarine of a mock enemy.
The seamen, in cooperation with the Ka-27PL anti-submarine helicopters, practised joint anti-submarine operation: they conducted exercises to search for, detect, and destroy a submarine with the use of anti-submarine weapons.

The small anti-submarine ship and naval helicopters of the Fleet were sent to the assigned area. The helicopters hovered over the water surface and used anti-submarine hydroacoustic stations to detect a target. The position data of the target was sent to the small anti-submarine ship Aleksin. After that, the detected submarine was 'destroyed' with a RBU-600 rocket depth launcher and shipborne torpedoes.
In addition to antisubmarine warfare, the ship's crew successfully performed an artillery live fires at various targets with live fires.
