The press service stressed that the ships were trained to defend the coast of Crimea, the bases of the forces of the Black Sea Fleet, maritime communications, and areas of maritime economic activity.

It pointed out that more than 30 warships of different classes from the Black Sea and other fleets from Russia are participating in the exercises, namely, frigates, coast guard ships, missile destroyers, missile boats, landing ships, anti-submarine ships, as well as minesweeper ships.
