Tuesday, 22 June 2021 (YJC) _ The Black Sea Fleet’s coastal defense missile systems practiced eliminating a notional enemy’s warships during drills in Crimea.
The Black Sea Fleet’s coastal defense missile systems practiced eliminating a notional enemy’s warships during drills in Crimea, the Fleet’s press office reported on Tuesday.
"The teams of Bal and Bastion mobile coastal defense anti-ship missile systems from the Black Sea Fleet’s missile and artillery formation held drills to eliminate a notional enemy’s surface ship in the Black Sea," the press office said in a statement.
At the first stage of the drills, the teams of the missile systems stationed in Crimea conducted a march to the positioning area, equipped and camouflaged positions. Following this, they readied the launchers, detected a surface target, identified it and locked on it, the statement says.
"In the course of the exercise, the troops practiced the algorithm of measures to deliver missile strikes against a notional enemy’s warship by electronic launches. A ship of the Black Sea Fleet simulated the notional enemy’s warship in the drills," the press office added.
Russia’s National Defense Control Center earlier reported that the Russian Navy was tracking the UK and Dutch guided missile ships that had entered the Black Sea. In particular, the UK guided missile destroyer Defender and the Dutch Navy frigate Evertsen entered the Black Sea on June 14. Earlier, the US Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer Laboon crossed over from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.
