Warships from Russia, Iran, and China participated within the Maritime Security Belt 2025 naval train within the Gulf of Oman, training the inspection and launch of a vessel “hijacked by simulated terrorists,” in accordance with the Russian Defense Ministry on Wednesday.
Russia was represented within the drills by the Pacific Fleet’s corvettes Rezky and Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov, together with the medium sea tanker Pechenga, the ministry mentioned in a press release.
“For two days, the crews of the warships conducted both daytime and nighttime live-fire exercises, using heavy machine guns and small arms to engage targets simulating unmanned boats and aerial drones of a mock adversary,” the assertion mentioned.
As a part of the train, the joint forces looked for a vessel “hijacked by simulated terrorists” and carried out a coordinated operation to liberate it, it added.
“After successfully completing the naval phase of the drills, the ships returned to the port of Chabahar in the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the final assessments and closing ceremony will take place,” the assertion concluded.
