During 2 days, the flagship of the Marine Guard “Hryhorii Kuropiatnikov” and the US Coast Guard ship “Hamilton” practiced joint exercises at the sea. According to the plan of the exercises, the interaction of two border guard ships took place with the involvement of the ship of the Ukrainian Navy “Starobilsk”. The crews worked out coordinated actions of the tactical group to stop provocations at the sea and repel the attack from the sky according to NATO standards.

Practicing of complex elements of manoeuvring, evasion of air attack and organization of anti-sabotage defence of the ship, all these elements of training have traditionally taken place under the supervision of ships of the Russian Federation. Coast guard ships and the ships of the Black Sea Fleet were not only observing, but creating additional complications for manoeuvres, such as: announced the sudden closure of areas for navigation, created a navigational hazard and traditionally left unanswered requests for compliance with international standards of safe navigation.
