An episode of the second stage of the Russian-Indonesian naval exercises "Orruda-2024" in the Java Sea. Russia used the Pacific Fleet corvettes "Gromkiy", "Rezkiy", "Geroy Rossiyskoy Federatsii Aldar Tsydenzhapov" and the medium sea tanker "Pechenga". The Indonesian Navy used the frigate Gusti Ngurah Rai 332 and the corvette Frans Kaisiepo 368. The ships' crews maneuvered and trained in communications using all types of signaling. After practicing interaction, the crews practiced inspection actions of suspicious vessels, blocking and releasing a vessel detected conditionally captured by "terrorists". They also trained to counter unmanned boats with firing from automatic artillery mounts and small arms. After completing the firing, they conducted rescue training at sea.
