A class of warships moved into the area to protect military installations. The crew of the ship's Atha-29 helicopter, which was lifted from the patrol ship "Ivan Papanin", deployed an anti-terrorist group to the island - during the battle, the enemy's simulated landing force was eliminated. Exercise Details Deployment: The Bastion Coastal Missile System Division marched from its permanent deployment point to a staging area in the Franz Josef Land Archipelago. Missile Attack: Teams launched electronic missiles against a fictitious enemy naval group located 350 km away. Operations on land and at sea: The elimination of the "enemy" landing force that landed on the assault boat landing on Alexandra Land Island was practiced. AVIATION AND SHIPS: The ship's A-29 helicopter crew from the patrol vessel Ivan Papanin delivered a counter-terrorism team to the island to support the defense. The exercises took place in difficult weather conditions, accompanied by snowfall and strong winds with gusts of up to 30 meters per second. The Russian Arctic is under protection.
