Ukrainian, Romanian ships hold exercises in Black Sea

According to the report, the corvette Contraamiral Horia Macellariu participated in naval combat training to repel attacks by high-speed small-sized boats, perform underway replenishment and ensure control over civilian shipping in a designated area of the sea.

The program included an exercise to fight for survival, during which the Romanian corvette got the role of a damaged ship, and Ukrainian sailors practiced the technique of towing it. They also practiced the repulse of enemy strikes during an attack on a ship protected from the air. The exercise ended with a solemn passage of ships at sea, the report said.

Multinational Exercise Sea Breeze 2021 will be held in the summer in the north-western part of the Black Sea and in the Mykolaiv, Kherson and Odesa regions.
