The Yamal, major amphibious ship, along with other ships of Black Sea Fleet and North Fleet is taking part in operational and strategic exercise Zapad-2009 scheduled on Sept 18-29, 2009 in Belarus.

As reported to Uralinformburo in representation office of Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous District (YNAD) in St. Petersburg, Navy Commander-in-Chief summarizing the results of the previous years had distinguished the major amphibious ship Yamal as one of the best naval forces and units among Russian Navy. That was mentioned in grateful letter addressed to Governor Yuri Neelov by rear admiral Vladimir Vasukov, the Black Sea Fleet surface ship division commander. The admiral thanked the regional head "for moral support and material assistance to the ship's crew; great work on strengthening of friendship and partnership between the administration of Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous District and Black Sea mariners".

The patronage connection between the autonomy's administration and Black Sea Fleet command exists since 2001 and documented with an agreement.
