In the water area of the Peter the Great Bay, the crew of the BT-114 base minesweeper of the Pacific Fleet, as part of the development of naval elements of the second course task, performed artillery firing.

The minesweeper hit the dropped parachute target with artillery fire, fired at the naval towed shield imitating the surface target of the mock enemy, and destroyed the sea floating mine posing a danger to navigation.

Also, the ship's crew practiced actions against the minefields of a mock enemy: they searched for and destroyed sea bottom mines using contact and non-contact trawls.
