According to the exercise’s scenario, the submarine planned to destroy the fleet’s naval communications, the spokesman added.

"The Ka-27PL helicopters practiced searching for, detecting, classifying, tracking and counteracting the simulated enemy’s submarine using various anti-submarine weapons during an exercise that was held as part of the combat readiness check after the winter training session," Matveyev said.

As the spokesman said, the helicopters used air bombs to destroy a simulated underwater target.
