This year, the exercises were held only in the sea and air. In total, about 2,000 people from eight countries, more than 20 ships, as well as aircraft, helicopters were involved in the Sea Breeze-2020 exercises, ArmiaInform reports.
In addition to Ukraine and the United States, the military from Bulgaria, Georgia, Norway, Romania, Spain and Turkey took part in the exercises.
All the tasks of the maneuvers in the Black Sea have been completed in full. The leaders of the exercises from the Ukrainian and American sides thanked all the participants for the high level of professional training and effective implementation of the tasks.
One of the features of the current exercises became the joint remote work of two headquarters. One headquarters was located in Odesa, and the second one in the Spanish city of Rota. This was a kind of know-how both for Ukrainian and American naval sailors.
Another feature of the exercises was the fact that during the implementation of joint actions, for the first time, the sides worked out an element of practical firing to destroy sea targets using helicopter weapons.
In addition, the US Navy’s P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft was escorted for the first time as part of the Sea Breeze exercise.
