targets were simulated by illuminating air bombs dropped by the Black Sea Fleet
aircraft. The ship’s artillery crews also conducted firings against the
mock-ups of floating mines, the statement says.
"At the final
stage of the firings, the sailors practiced the algorithm of measures for the
ship’s air defense during its transit at sea, with close-in jamming
actions," the press office said.
