In the Sea of Okhotsk, a joint detachment of warships of the Pacific Fleet and the Chinese Navy, during the naval exercise “Interaction – 2024”, practiced air and anti-submarine defense tasks with the practical use of weapons, reports the press service of the Pacific Fleet.
“According to the exercise plan, upon reaching the designated area, a detachment of warships practiced joint maneuvers, after which they were attacked by aircraft-type attack unmanned aerial vehicles. To repel the attack of a group of attack drones, anti-aircraft missile weapons were used, as well as AK-630 artillery mounts and heavy machine gun teams.” – says the message.
In the second stage, Russian and Chinese warships searched for a submarine of the mock enemy, the role of which was played by one of the diesel-electric submarines of the Pacific Fleet.
“The ships practiced joint training and tactical techniques to search for an “enemy” submarine. A Ka-27PL anti-submarine helicopter with a submersible sonar station was used for the search. After the discovery of the underwater object, a detachment of ships organized the pursuit of the underwater “enemy” and then used RBU-6000 rocket launchers at the site of its discovery.” — reports the press service of the Pacific Fleet.
It should be noted that after the active operations the ship crews went to the area where they were supplied by the tankers. A joint Russian-Chinese detachment will then be formed and begin joint patrol tasks in the Asia-Pacific region.
