The corvette Soobrazitelny, Baltic Fleet, performed some training missions in piracy affected areas in Gulf of Aden, says press center of RF Defence Ministry. The training was focused on counter-ship warfare and inspection.
In particular, the crew practised interception of a suspect vessel, inspection of it using the Ka-57 helicopters and high-speed boat. One of the elements was to locate and eliminate a mock floating mine.
In the near future, the corvette will continue surveillance over the air, underwater and surface situation in the Gulf of Aden.
