In occupied Crimea on July 11, the occupying military is conducting large-scale exercises. In particular, they worked out the search and destruction of hypothetical enemy ships.

This was reported by the occupation department of information support of the Black Sea region of Sevastopol.

The training was attended by units of naval aviation and air defense of the Black Sea Fleet using aircraft, drones "Outpost" and "Orlan" and the crews of three ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

It is noted that at the initial stage of training, the drones conducted reconnaissance and, according to their calculations, found a landing detachment of conventional enemy ships at sea, which was simulated by naval ships.

After that, after receiving instructions from drones, the crews of Su-24M front-line bombers and Su-30SM multi-role fighters performed a combat exercise of bombing naval targets with conditional bombing.

Also during the training, the pilots practiced actions to evade the naval and ground means of air defense of the conventional enemy.
