Few days ago, the PF anti-piracy task unit replenished water and fuel supplies, conducted routine maintenance, and held counter-terror drills.
Seventh PF task unit consisting of large ASW ship Admiral Tributs, tanker Pechenga, and seagoing tug MB-37 arrived in the Gulf of Aden late in Dec 2011 to keep anti-piracy watch within international naval force.
According to reports of the unit commander Capt 1 rank Ildar Akhmerov, all systems work normally. Personnel feel good and ready to accomplish assigned tasks.
