The exercises consisted of five episodes:
1. Provision of the craft from the base of the trawlers, which produce sweeping fairway.
2. Search for the submarine, which ships waiting at the exit of the Gulf.
3. Reflection torpedo attack submarine and its destruction by means of anti-submarine warfare.
4. Maintain an artillery battle with the conventional surface ships with the performance of firing the main fire.
5. The reflection of air attacks by the anti-aircraft artillery and universal. The ships maneuver and put the active interference.

26. Pilots great respect because they had to work during gusty wind and snow. Leading couples - pilot Colonel Kudrets first class AV, driven - the pilot of the second class, Major A. Wroblewski
One of the helicopter was to coordinate the activities on board, "Kulakov" managed to have a little talk with him. In his words:
- Navy needs updating helicopter fleet, the old machines.
- Pilots swoop low, 30-40 hours per year. Trite not enough machines (plenty of fuel), so that all could fly.
There was an invisible submarine hunt down our BOD and fired a torpedo practice. In the role of the silent hunter made diesel submarine pr.877 (TN. "Warszawianka") "Yaroslavl".
27. In order to establish the precise location of a submarine in the area of its search arrived anti-IL-38.

30. After the destruction of the submarine, troop ships engage the conventional surface ships carrying guns firing of the main fire. IL-38 exhibited surface targets, which opened fire and artillery systems AK-100 BOD "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" and AK-176 IPC "Young" and "Monchegorsk". In the photo the AK-100 "Kulakov," far seen accompanying the IPC
31. After firing ships turned, heading to the Kola Bay. According to the plan exercise at this time they were to attack a couple of deck fighters Su-33, but we got back in the thick snow and the aircraft charge is simply not seen. Nevertheless, reflecting the attack, "fist" opened fire with AK-100 complex and 30 mm six-barrel anti-aircraft gun mount AK-630. There was a little confusion and the moment of shooting, I did not take off. AK-630
32. To reflect impacts guided weapons ships completed staging false leading away goals complexes clutter near the turn from launchers CT-216. This trigger in the form of unfilled
33. Received a team charged. Naturally gear was before the beginning of the active phase of the exercises, but I will show the whole process over time.
