NATO navy training maneuvers were launched on the Baltic Sea a few days ago to improve the defence skills of those guarding maritime transport routes, informed Polish media on Friday.
The military exercises included loading missiles and torpedoes, disinfecting contaminated ships, and supplying the units. The scenarios were carried out to exercise how to maintain control over the water territory, namely, protecting sea routes from being blocked, and preventing water, aerial and submarine attacks, anti-terrorist and anti-piracy actions.
Such exercises are repeated each year by task forces, consisting of various military formations, mostly navy and aviation. The main goal is to maintain the security and freedom of trade.
This year's training lasts five days and involves 11 ships from Poland, the Netherlands and Lithuania.
