The crew of the Boiky corvette of the Baltic Fleet practiced the search and detection of a submarine, and also fired the Paket anti-submarine system during scheduled exercises at the Baltic Fleet's sea ranges. This was reported by the press service of the Western Military District (ZVO).

The Ufa submarine, which performs tasks at sea, was used as a mock enemy submarine. The crew of the submarine was tasked with maximum secrecy to approach the corvette at a distance of torpedo attack and use weapons.

“After the crew of the corvette carried out activities to search, classify and track the submarine, the target was destroyed with the help of the Paket small-sized anti-submarine complex with practical firing,” the report says.
