During the exercises, various combat scenarios will be worked out, including landing ship collisions, maneuvers on land, diving operations, naval interception operations, air defense, interaction during special operations, anti-submarine activity, as well as search and rescue operations.
On June 26, the American guided-missile destroyer USS Ross entered the Black Sea, capable of carrying up to 56 Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of 1,6 km. km
"USS Ross's participation in this year's Sea Breeze naval exercises is a real demonstration of the US's support for Ukraine, which is needed today more than ever," said the US Chargé d'affaires in Ukraine, Christina Kvin.
The exercises will last until July 10.
Let's remind, last week Russia called on the USA and NATO to abandon the Sea Breeze-2021 exercises.
