Navy conducts exercises to counter UAV threats in sea ports of Myshaco and Novorossiysk on June 20
Hey there!
June 20 is gonna be intense around the waters of Cape Myasokho and the Novorossiysk Sea Port, with the local naval base rolling out training exercises.
These events are scheduled in two batches. From 09:00 to 11:00, the focus will be on the Cape Myasokho area, and from 11:00 to 13:00, the drills move to the Novorossiysk Sea Port.
Get ready to witness some intense action as they practice defenses against agile unmanned boats and drones. live-fire drills using artillery installations are even in the cards.
By now, you must have heard the news. The city administration has issued a warning due to these exercises.
Here's what's off-limits during the drills. All types of small craft and watercraft, not subject to state registration, pleasure and sports sailing vessels, inflatable watercraft, water sports equipment like jet skis, windsurf boards, SUP boards, and underwater work and diving operations - yep, all of them are a big fat no-no.
Now let me fill you in on some juicy details about drone and naval warfare in the Black Sea region. Ukraine's stealthy sea drones, armed with missiles and naval mines, have been causing quite a ruckus. These drones, like the Magura V5, have been reportedly blocking the Russian Black Sea fleet near Novorossiysk.
To counter such threats, the Russians are beefing up their defenses. Drills would probably include integrated air and naval defense exercises, electronic warfare exercises, physical interception drills, simulation of swarm attacks, operational security and safety precautions, and coordination with coastal surveillance, along with testing AI-assisted detection and interception systems.
Bonus points if you catch any of these drills! It's quite the spectacle, but remember to keep your distance, mates.
- In the realm of industry and finance, one might see increased interest due to the escalating aerospace activities in the Black Sea region, particularly around Cape Myasokho and the Novorossiysk Sea Port.
- The upcoming naval exercises in the Black Sea target not only traditional naval warfare but also advanced technologies, such as drones and AI-assisted detection systems, which are significant developments in the finance and aerospace sectors.
