RUSSIA NAVY DRILLS IN THE BLACK SEA
The Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet began anti-submarine drills in the Black Sea
The presence of two US warships the command ship USS Mount Whitney and the guided missile destroyer USS Porter in the Black Sea has prompted Russia to begin anti-submarine drills today.
The US 6th Fleet in a statement said that NATO and its partners will be conducting exercises in the Black Sea which Russia views as a provocation.
Russian Defence Ministry released a statement:”The crews of the Black Sea Fleet’s small anti-submarine warfare ships Yeisk and Kasimov operating as part of a surface strike group practiced searching for and detecting a notional enemy submarine in interaction with the crew of a Ka-27M anti-submarine helicopter. In the course of the exercise, the crews of the ships used their own data and the data on the submarine provided by the anti-submarine helicopter to search for and track the sub and also attacked the underwater target, employing torpedo armaments and rocket-propelled depth charges,”
The drills carried out by the Russians will include air defence for a surface strike group, surface to air missile and artillery strikes against aerial targets.
