DPSU: Joint training with real obstacles
For 2 days, the flagship of the Maritime Guard “Grigory Kuropyatnikov” and the US Coast Guard ship “Hamilton” conducted joint exercises at sea.
The idea of the exercises was the interaction of two border ships with the addition of the ship of the Navy of Ukraine “Starobilsk”. The crews worked out coordinated tactical group actions to stop provocations at sea and repel the attack from the sky according to NATO standards.
Working out complex elements of maneuvering, evading air attack and organizing anti-sabotage defense of the ship — all elements of the exercises traditionally took place under the observation of Russian ships. Border ships and ships of the ChF of the Russian Federation did not just observe, but created additional complications for maneuvers — they announced the sudden closure of areas for navigation, created a navigational hazard and traditionally left unanswered requests for compliance with international rules of safe navigation.
