A detachment of Russian Navy ships consisting of corvettes Rezky, Aldar Tsydenzhapov, and medium sea tanker Pechenga (Pacific Fleet) participated in a joint PASSEX-type exercise called Arabian Monsoon together with the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
After leaving the port of Karachi, the Pacific Fleet ships formed a joint detachment with the Pakistani frigate Shah-Jahan and corvette Tabuk.
During the exercise, the ships of the two countries practised tactical manoeuvring tasks and repelled mock attacks of the enemy's uncrewed surface vehicles.
The crews of the combat ships also conducted an air defence exercise.
The joint naval exercise ended with an operation to free a vessel notionally seized by terrorists. The tanker Pechenga acted as the captured ship in this training stage.
For Reference: The last time the parties conducted a PASSEX-type exercise, the Arabian Monsoon, was in 2021
