A detachment of ships of the Baltic Fleet consisting of the patrol ship "Yaroslav Mudryi", the tanker "Yelnya" and the sea tug "Viktor Konetsky", which is on a long trip, continues to perform tasks in the Indian Ocean, says press center of RF Defence Ministry.
The crew of the "Yaroslav Mudryi" works out elements of the course task in the sea, conducts planned ship training of combat crews and exercises for damage control.
While performing planned training and combat tasks, the ship's crew replenished water and fuel supplies from the sea tanker "Yelnya" along the route of crossing the wake.
