The Admiral Panteleyev, a Russian Pacific Fleet’s destroyer will take part on May 16, 2011 in the naval equipment exhibit IMDEKS-2011 and participate in joint anti-piracy drills in Singapore, RIA Novosti reports.
"Russian warships have taken part in this exhibition several times in the past," the news agency quoted the fleet's spokesman Capt. 1st Rank Roman Martov as saying. " For instance, Russian missile cruiser Varyag - the flagship of the Pacific Fleet - visited Singapore on the same occasion in 2009."
Admiral Panteleyev took part in the international anti-piracy mission off the Somali coast in 2009. The warship seized a boat carrying 29 suspected pirates, believed to have been involved in an unsuccessful attack on a Russian-crewed oil tanker en route to Singapore.
The destroyer also prevented a pirate attack on a cargo vessel while escorting a convoy of six merchant ships.
The Russian destroyer will stay at the port of Makassar in eastern Indonesia on May 25-27.
